Spring Summer 2026 takes inspiration from another star in Max Mara’s pantheon of remarkable women. The power and intelligence of Madame De Pompadour, the Queen of Rococo, inhabits this new world of contrasts. Clean, graphic silhouettes dialogue with extravagant details, creating a surprising balance between past and present.
The mood for Fall-Winter 2025 campaign calls for a new romantic style inspired by Brontës’ novels. The new campaign celebrates untamed femininity and resilience. Structured yet fluid silhouettes evoke the wild spirit of the English moors, where fashion becomes both armor and expression. A contemporary heroine emerges — strong, free, and impossible to tame.
Max Mara invites you to embark on a digital journey into the inspirations behind the FW25 Runway Collection.
Step into the shoes of the Untamed Heroine, wandering through torn pages and intimate reflections, where emotion and self-discovery define the spirit of the collection.
Unveiled in the magnificent setting of La Reggia di Caserta, the Resort 2026 show is a tribute to Italian style and to the vibrant Neapolitan energy.
The collection draws inspiration from 1950s Italian cinema, the iconic sensuality of its leading ladies, and the refined art of Neapolitan tailoring. A unique collaboration comes to life: Max Mara and E. Marinella reveal archival prints from 1951. From the runway to your wardrobe: four new Whitney Bag styles and five timeless silk scarves are now available online.
Sleek, self assured and elegant, the Max Mara woman knows that self control brings success. But, this season, our heroine dreams of a tempestuous love as powerful as the elemental landscape of Wuthering Heights. Her mood calls for a new romantic style. Max Mara answers with a neo-gothic chic that meets urban rusticity. From waisted redingotes with sweeping skirts to squirely frock coats; from capes to generous clutch coats, the collection builds to a climax of evening looks in black velvet.
Max Mara celebrates a modern women—self-assured, poised, and ready to follow, just this once, the voice of the heart.
Vittoria Ceretti is the face of the new Spring Summer 2025 campaign.
Max Mara finds magic in the discipline of mathematics and, with the new collection, embraces scientific precision contrasting with idiosyncratic details.

The Max Mara Spring-Summer 2025 fashion show takes us on a fascinating journey between science and magic. Hypatia, a pioneering woman, mathematician, philosopher, and astronomer who lived in Alexandria, Egypt in the 4th century, becomes the muse of the season. The collection explores geometry and precision through cuts and silhouettes with impeccable constructions and fabrics, while also embracing the magic brought by unexpected details. The color palette evokes hues "borrowed" from scientific laboratory instruments, as if aiming to create a magical chemistry.
The Fall-Winter 2024 advertising campaign showcases a collection inspired by the evocative and modern works of the eclectic artist Colette, one of the most influential figures of the early 20th century. Impeccable coats, iconic jackets, skirts with gently undulating volants and dresses in elegant midnight blue define the Max Mara's woman-in-control.
Max Mara believes any woman can be remarkable, no matter who they are, how they live, what they have accomplished. Shot by photographer Oliver Hadlee Pearch on the busy streets of London, the campaign features model Bibi Breslin as a woman who becomes an outward projection of her inner strengths. She wears the Olimpia Jacket, a signature piece that embodies the time-honoured quality of Max Mara clothes. The name, alluding to Greek mythology, signifies a female hero, reinforcing the idea that every woman can be remarkable.

Max Mara is the first to stage a Resort fashion show in Stockholm. The location is the City Hall, a renowned place that, for a century, has hosted the celebrations for the Nobel Prize winners. For this collection Max Mara takes cues from the legacy of powerful Swedish women, such as Selma Lagerlöf, the first woman ever to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. Another strong influence is the annual celebration of Midsummer, which inspires the name of the collection: ‘Septem Flores’. According to tradition, seven specific types of wild flower are collected and anyone lucky enough to find one of each should sleep with them under their pillow in order to dream of their future sweetheart.

Sculptor and installation artist Dominique White’s winning proposal is for a new body of work entitled Deadweight, which takes as its starting point the measure of ‘deadweight tonnage’, an official term used in the maritime industry that calculates how many units of weight a ship can take before it sinks. The project continues her artistic and political concerns, while engaging with additional narratives and cultural layers which will be researched and further developed during her 6-month residency in Italy, organized by Collezione Maramotti, Reggio Emilia. The artist intends to build and then submerge elements of the final work in the Tyrrhenian Sea off the west coast of Italy, which will then form the basis of the solo exhibition in 2024.
Riviera Style inspires Max Mara’s Spring Summer 2023 campaign: backless tanks, voluminous canvas sailor pants and floppy wide-brimmed sun hats.

Max Mara opened its new flagship store in Tokyo. Designed by Andrea Tognon Architecture with a surface of 400 square meters, the tower perfectly embodies the city's ever-evolving fight against gravity. The streamlined structure soars toward the sky like an imposing pagoda, upholding pergola-like floor slabs clad in brushed metal with a cloudy finish, blending into the sky. Looking up to the tower, the optically slanted shape of black ceilings gracefully ending in curved and concave corners provide a sense of depth and space. A dynamic space, designed to host product focuses, which evolves constantly, providing a new engaging shopping experience.
Microclima is the permanent site-specific work created by French artist Eva Jospin for the terrace of the Max Mara flagship store in Corso Vittorio Emanuele/Piazza del Liberty, Milan.
Enhancing the interior space of the store and juxtaposing it with the open space of Piazza del Liberty, the work stimulates reflection on a different perception – natural, physical, poetic – of space.
Microclima consists of a glass and metal greenhouse structure that encloses a world that is both intimate and closely connected to the outside world, with a vision that changes from day to night and with the seasons.
The new Max Mara Fall Winter 2022 campaign explores playful contrasts of mini and maxi, micro and macro, skinny and outsize. Zippered pockets and side splits pop up in unexpected places.

The lush gardens of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon are the setting for the Max Mara Resort 2023 fashion show. Among the Foundation’s treasures is a painting by Nikias Skapinakis of the poet Natália Correia: she is the muse of the Resort collection.
Correia’s powerful personality placed her at the heart of Portuguese cultural life in the 1970’s and ‘80’s where she became symbolic of a seductive and unconventional femininity. With this collection, Max Mara pays homage to Portuguese culture - from the haunting melodies of fado, music of love and passion to the Lenços de namorados do Minho, "handkerchiefs of lovers". In tribute, Max Mara delivers its own powerful message of passion:"Vai lenço feliz".
In a vibrant celebration of Portuguese culture, the gifted young fado singer Carminho, has walked the Max Mara runway in occasion of the Max Mara Resort 2023.

Max Mara has designed the costumes for the dancers of the Fondazione Nazionale della Danza / Aterballetto who will perform for the RAI1 New Year’s Concert at La Fenice in Venezia offering a new take on some of its iconic models created especially for the performance.
For this occasion Max Mara’s Creative Director, Ian Griffiths, worked with Diego Tortelli, choreographer of Fondazione Nazionale della Danza / Aterballetto. Together, they devised the Max Mara costumes, featuring four vibrant colours: yellow, red, electric blue and green that create the necessary theatrical tension, the emotion awakened by pure, special colours that engage with the locations in which the ballets come to life: Fondazione Cini, Palazzo Grassi, La Biennale installations by Achim Menges and Tumo.

The Max Mara woman is like a queen.

Photographed and directed by Steven Meisel, it celebrates a variety of cultures and different ages. Featuring Chloe Oh, Amar Akway, Sofia Steinberg, Jits Bootsma, Mona Tougaard and Malgosia Bela, the cast reflects the global family that the Max Mara woman of today belongs to.
The Max Mara Spring Summer 2022 show transports us to the world of Françoise Sagan and that summer in the 1950’s when, as a rebellious teenager, she wrote her literary masterpiece, "Bonjour Tristesse", and became a superstar in the intellectual firmament that held the Beat Generation in its thrall.
The Spring Summer 2022 Collection evokes classic workwear with an upscale prêt-à-porter flair. Styles feature precise contrasting seams on gathered canvas, impeccable poplin and denim. Tank tops and masculine-style sandals with chunky soles complete the bad girl look. Sometimes-embroidered chiffon with delicate feathers counterbalances the workwear style.
The colour palette ranges from sand and tan to navy blue and black, enhanced by yellow and orange accents recalling sunlit beaches. Beach umbrellas are the inspiration for laid-back complete looks in boldly striped canvas.
The Resort 2022 Local Color Collection is set against the picturesque backdrop of Ischia. The inspiration is the journey, recalled by the writer Truman Capote in his collection of stories “Local Color”, from which the collection takes its name. Symbols of Capote’s narrative are his “swans”, beautiful women who led a glamorous life in search of perfection. With this collection Max Mara is seeking to appeal to a new generation of swans, today’s working women with different, yet equally glamorous lives. The film of the collection is directed by Ginevra Elkann, a director and niece of Marella Agnelli, one of Truman Capote’s “swans”.
The Max Mara woman is like a queen. Britannic style with an Italian accent. Authentic and sometimes eccentric, it’s been a recurring theme at Max Mara right from the start and it’s the backbone of this anniversary collection. New must-haves include the oversized bomber jackets and "thornproof” jackets in incredibly soft alpaca wool with utility pockets. To be worn with kilts, thick socks and sturdy shoes. And to complete the urban-county mix, there are impeccably tailored suits in tattersall checks, chic graphic tartans, oversize aran knits, velvet elbow patches and jaunty jabots in organza.
CAMELUXE is a new frontier for mindful fashion: discarded camelhair fabrics are upcycled from our legendary coats (and not only) in order to create a warm insulating pad. It is capable of maintaining the same properties of virgin materials, without requiring additional consumption.

Rebirth, renewal and reconstruction. New silhouettes captivate the runway: short and snappy, long and voluminous. Sleeves are slashed right through. Richly gathered necklines are scooped or run straight across, like a cinquecentesco portrait. The painterly palette blends ochre, umber, sienna, lamp black and white with smudges of subtle colour, like the powdery pastels of an Umbrian affresco. Max Mara's modern alchemy captivates the Spring Summer 2021 runway.
Emma Talbot’s winning proposal for the Max Mara Art Prize for Women questions deeply rooted positions of power, governance, attitudes to nature and representations of women, through an acutely personal lens. As the winner, Emma Talbot will spend six months in Italy on a bespoke residency, creating a new body of work to be shown at the Whitechapel Gallery in 2022, followed by the Collezione Maramotti, Reggio Emilia, Italy.
A variety of silhouettes on the catwalk and a new way of mixing the iconic colours of Max Mara, camel, grey, white and, naturally, navy blue. The nautical theme also offers inspiration for coats, with officer class overcoats, capes, pea coats and duffel coats, secured at the waist by an elegant cord. Ruches and frills define the shoulders and sleeves of classic versions in camel colour, pinstriped jackets and asymmetrical skirts. Lastly, the new Marine bag is capacious and soft, designed in the shape of the hull of a ship.

As the 90s unfolded — a decade that revolutionised fashion photography — the focus of Max Mara’s storytelling shifted towards the product and manufacturing processes. Worn by top models and captured by the legends of the era, the ultra-minimal, luxurious aesthetic became the label’s signature.
In the beginning, no one realised how special it was — and yet, still today, it represents style and value that don’t fade with time. Sketched by Anne-Marie Beretta in the 80s, the 101801 coat was created: the heart and essence of the Max Mara identity.

In the 50s, Achille Maramotti had a dream: to transform a man’s coat into an iconic piece for women. He seized the opportunity of bringing together Italian tailoring with new trends, such as French haute couture and American industrial productivity. In 1959, the Max Mara factory was established.
For Pre-Fall 2017, Max Mara joined forces with the Chinese artist, Liu Wei, to create a capsule collection and a set design for its Shanghai fashion show. The result was a fascinating dialogue between cutting-edge innovation and Max Mara’s heritage of craftsmanship.

Let’s hear it for generous proportions, capacious pockets, chunky zips and enveloping silhouettes. This is the part of the collection where the useful gets glamorous.
