"Max Mara" Draping detail wrap skirt set up

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 beautifully tailored pieces from the brand.

This exquisite jacket and wrap skirt set is crafted from a finely brushed matte black fabric that gently absorbs light, and the contrast between the straight tailoring and soft drape accentuates the beauty of the design.

The jacket has a smooth line that flows from the sharp notch lapel to the front, with natural shoulders that retain a slight roundness, and the body is designed with a long, straight line that falls vertically, so the moment you put it on, it neatly frames the body's contours and creates a relaxed look, and the pockets are positioned low, which draws the eye downwards, creating an elegant centre of gravity for the whole piece.

The skirt has a wrap-style construction with holes for a waistband, allowing you to freely adjust the depth of the drape and the look of your waist by changing the way you tie it, and the fabric gently ripples as you walk, creating a graceful movement within the neatness of the material. The fabric has a texture reminiscent of a fine wool crepe, and the stitching is beautiful all the way to the back, making it comfortable to wear and suitable for a wide range of seasons.

In addition to the beautiful silhouette that is created when the set is worn together, the versatility that allows it to be worn individually is an added value that is unique to this item. The jacket's masculine straight lines form the "axis" of the coordination, and the skirt's obi tying gives it a "expression" that creates depth. The appeal is that the monochrome texture alone can be used to create an impression across a variety of occasions, from everyday life to ceremonies.

Additionally, this set is from the main line of the "silver tag" era, with the silver logo on the label being a design often seen in the 1990s and early 2000s. During this period, Max Mara focused on a minimalist approach, subduing the logo and showcasing beauty through high-quality materials and patterns. The drape of the wool-based crepe and the balance of the natural shoulders and long lines create a natural vertical margin away from the body, highlighting a quiet elegance not found in current styles. The stitching density and neat backing are standard for the main line, and the silhouette remains intact even when worn alone, making this a highly valuable piece both in terms of archival context and practicality.

For styling, layering it with wide straight trousers and matching square-toe boots will create a gender-neutral, minimalist, and strong fashion look. Alternatively, adding a high-neck knit underneath and elevating the waist with a slim leather belt will create a beautiful interplay of material shadows, creating an iconic look.

Please take this opportunity.
