Wilhelm "Willy" Maywald (15 August 1907 – 21 May 1985) was a German photographer who was best known for his portrait and fashion photography.

Early life and education
Maywald was born on August 15, 1907 in Kleve, German Empire (present day Germany) to a family of hoteliers. He grew up becoming interested in the aesthetics of art. Maywald studied at the Technical Schools of Art in Krefeld, Cologne and Berlin. His wide range of education was what let him to be the avant-garde artist that he was.

Career
After school, Maywald returned to this hometown in 1931 but soon realized that the city was too small for the career he wanted for himself. He then moved to Paris where he began his career of photo reporting and befriending other modern artists. He chose to live a bohemian lifestyle and photographed various subjects such as artists, dancers, fashion, etc. Maywald photographed the qualities of living in France with his camera. He became an assistant to Harry Meerson who was a Polish photographer and started to learn from Meerson how to make a living from photography.

Maywald moved to Switzerland in 1942 and was held captive in camps for foreigners. In the year of 1943 he was allowed to start working again in portrait photography as a self-employed artist. Maywald was very well known for his black and white photography and stunning lighting.

When he moved back to Paris in August 1946 he mainly focused on fashion and celebrity photography. He photographed for various fashion designers and his images were recognized internationally. Maywald was known for photographing in unique scenes. He was one of the first fashion photographers to photograph his subjects in the streets of Paris. He had a way of photographing his subjects in these various places but the image still focused on the model/clothing. He became Christian Dior’s elite photographer. Maywald photographed the well-known designers creations and his photographs were featured on the cover of several magazines including Vogue and Vanity Fair. Although Maywald was the main photographer for Dior, he also photographed for several other fashion designers at the time. Although photographing fashion, he produced images of celebrities as well.

These celebrities ranged from artists to movie stars to athletes: Tamara Lempicka, Hans Arp, Georges Braque, Marc Chagall, Pablo Picasso, Le Corbusier, Fernand Léger, Joan Miró, Georges Rouault and Maurice Utrillo.

Maywald retired in 1968, and died in 1985 in Paris.

Grey hoodie...need I say more?
Size: Medium, Color: Grey Heather Full Zip
Can't beat this as far as value, quality and comfort. You would think a plain grey zip up hoodie would be easy to find at any local department store, but nope. So when I saw this going for an extremely good price, it was a no-brainer. The fit is proper and the material is soft inside and out. Very easy to wash and keep in good shape and great for transitional season changes. All pockets, hood and zipper works as needed and great quality.

Comfortable and soft zip up hoodie.
Size: Medium, Color: Grey Heather Full Zip
Light weight , soft and very comfortable. I am 5ft 10in 155 lbs and the medium fit true to size. No shrinkage after several washes and dry cycles. Quality appears to be decent with no pills after several washes . Based on this I ordered a second one.

Great Price, Great Hoodie!
Size: X-Large, Color: Red Full Zip
Gave these to kids for Christmas. The price was right and there are so many colors! The fit is true to size and the colors are vibrant. They are on the thin size, but we like them that way. Not to hot, not to cold. The stitching is average but the fabric used makes up for that as these hoodies are sooo soft! Sooo comfortable to wear. We will definitely be ordering more when these wear out for sure. Recommended!
