Max Mara channels the Riviera for Spring-Summer 2023

INSPIRED by the Riviera style of self-portraitist Ren茅e Perle 鈥the muse and lover of photographer Jacques-Henri Lartigue, featured in his most memorable pictures. Her archetypal looks are the backbone of Max Mara鈥檚 collection for Spring-Summer 2023; backless tanks, voluminous canvas sailor pants, floppy wide-brimmed sun hats, and long, languid skirts which hug the hip then slide into pools of godets. Also inspiring the collection is architect Eileen Gray who built E1027, a seaside villa for herself and her lover, showcasing her uniquely feminine take on modernism. Challenging the rigid rectilinearity of the masculine masters, Gray鈥檚 floorplan incorporates the occasional curve. Max Mara follows suit with sinuous bias cutting and a new femininity also manifests itself in extravagant organza bows printed with flowers in Perlesque 鈥渁rt vernaculaire鈥 style. Max Mara presents a series of total looks in lino greggiounprocessed, undyed linen that looks like burlap, sometimes with raw fringed hems. And Max Mara鈥檚 classic architectonic coats take on the soft allure of sun-bleached beach robes. Gray鈥檚 鈥渁rchitecture for inner life鈥 features accents in a particular shade of inky Mediterranean blue; Max Mara presents its take on washed cotton drill bleu de travail in the same evocative color.
