Looks from the show
The muse for the Max Mara Spring-Summer 2025 runway show is a pioneering woman - the 4th-century mathematician and philosopher, Hypatia of Alexandria. Her legacy of elegant precision has inspired a trigonometrical twist in Max Mara's tailoring pieces. Proudly displaying the techniques of construction, the fashion formula for summer hinges on a new shoulder: sharp, square and narrow. With masterful skill the humble poplin shirt can be elevated to design masterpiece.
In a collection predicated on precision there are impeccable linear fabrics, gaberdines, drills and poplins that lend themselves to transformation through skilled engineering but also crumpled materials permanently criss-crossed with random creases. The science lab also inspires the palette. Crystalline white, copper oxide, deep delphiniun blue and silver nitrate trigger a magical chemistry.
