"Max Mara" 90's Refined design long shirt dress

Since its founding in Italy, Max Mara has garnered attention as a pioneer of modern ready-to-wear fashion, offering elegant and contemporary items. We are pleased to present some conceptual masterpieces from the brand.

This masterpiece brings the minimalism of the mid-to-late 90s straight into the present.

The front is stripped of unnecessary decoration and has a very simple look with just buttons of the same color spaced evenly, the shirt collar is not too sharp and is just the right size to neatly frame the neck, and the lines that give a subtle shape from the shoulders to the waist beautifully emphasize the vertical silhouette without constricting the body. The sleeves are decorated with modest cuffs, and the way the slender wrists look when the buttons are fastened has been carefully considered, so you could say that the design maintains a classic impression even when you move your arms.

The fabric is made of triacetate, a material often used in Max Mara dresses of the time, and while the surface has a matte texture that gently catches the light, the hem flows beautifully as you walk, creating a beautiful drape. Its appeal lies in the fact that it combines the elegance of silk with the ease of care required for everyday wear. The unique firmness and stiffness of triacetate make it wrinkle-resistant and less likely to look sloppy even when sitting for long periods of time, making this a material choice that supported the lifestyle of career women on the rise in the 90s, and one that remains reassuringly relevant today.

Based on a straight I-line silhouette, the dress avoids excessive waistbanding, making it easy to wear regardless of body type or gender, a unique added value of this dress, and it has the flexibility to be worn in a wide range of occasions, from formal to everyday, depending on how you fasten the buttons and what you pair it with. Rather than making a statement with logos or decorations, the dress speaks of its "good quality" through the precision of its stitching and the quality of its fabric, and you will feel that this is a clear expression of the intelligent luxury aesthetic of Max Mara from the 90s white tag period.

It has the reassurance of a first-line dress that was officially sold in Japanese department stores in the 1990s, and is a piece that can be worn for any occasion, including formal occasions like weddings and funerals. This timeless, minimalist black shirt dress will become a reliable staple in your closet for a long time, becoming a partner that you'll be glad to have with each passing season.

In terms of styling, pairing the dress with neat leather shoes and adding understated accessories to the ears and hands will create a timeless look that is suitable for formal occasions.For those who want to maintain a genderless atmosphere, we recommend leaving the front buttons slightly open and layering a simple knit or top underneath with slim pants underneath, creating a look that looks like a long shirt coat.

Please take this opportunity.
