Max Mara

Max Mara calls to mind elegance and excellence, and though its signature silhouettes may favour simplicity, there’s a delicate interplay of Italian and Britannic styles at work under creative director Ian Griffiths’s charge. A Max Mara teddy coat – the pinnacle of all Max Mara coats – is the definition of glamour. And no outfit that involves this, plus wide-leg trousers and a Max Mara bag, will ever falter for the self-made professionals that the House dresses. While its collections famously favour camel tones and wear-forever neutrals, there are punchy prints to be found on T-shirts and silk dresses – just the accent to peek beneath the label’s iconic outerwear.
