Vintage inspired with a mix of clashing ethnic prints would succinctly describe Boxing Kitten. Electric colors and simple silhouettes scream boldly and loudly; Boxing Kitten is certainly not for the wallflower. Designer Maya Lake infuses vibrancy and uniqueness in her pieces for Boxing Kitten, creating what she calls “ethnic rockabilly.”
The vintage shapes are perfect and flattering to most body shapes and the clashing, bold custom-made prints inject humor and culture. What began with creating clothes for family has grown into a full-fledged clothing line. Maya’s aesthetic grew and developed with her studies of African-American culture and the Civil Rights movement in college. She merged her love of fashion with her interest in African American studies and out of that Boxing Kitten was born.
The mixing and coordinating of the prints is genius and goes perfectly with the high waisted style. What do you think of the strong prints of Boxing Kitten?
I absolutely love this line! Thanks for blogging about it. The billie cap sleeve dress is briliant- such a traditional american shape that’s totally updated by these beautiful patterns.

Great prints! The genius is in choosing the exact combinations – I don’t know how Maya Lake does it but the result is both spectacular and unique.
Extraordinary!!! I bought a dress like this in 2010 but I didn’t know that it is called boxing kitten. hahaha… The perfectness of the high waist style is so adorable and fits perfectly to me. Maya Lake, thumbs up to you girl. I’ll keep on looking to this site if I may have certain questions.

The third picture is very nice and stylish. The colors are very loud and attractive. The mixture of the colors are well done. This is a good design. I’ll keep this in mind.
Cheers!
