The Max Mara Tailored Suit Project, centred on the jacket, portrays this women’s wardrobe classic in new ways and features that can be adapted to a variety of different occasions. Outstanding workmanship, careful attention to proportion, the search for new materials and colours come together to create items with a simple, rigorous elegance able to appeal to customers of a variety of ages and lifestyles. The cornerstones for the production of the jacket are based on the men’s tailoring culture. 375 minutes of work (twice the time required for a standard jacket), the use of canvas on the inside, the handstitching and the meticulous ironing process ensure that the jacket of the Tailored Suit Project naturally fits the body, effortlessly adapting to the figure. A choice of impeccable styles and fabrics that respond to the needs of a woman who likes to wear her jacket for both work and leisure time. This season’s luxurious fabrics include: pure cachemire, either plain or prince of Wales, ultra light with an impalpable hand-feel; mohair wool, melange or pinstripe brushed wool, pure linen twill. The palette is made of feminine and universal colours: shell pink, turquoise, light blue, navy blue and grey.
