New Winds, Old Echoes: Max Mara and Its New Fall/Winter 2025 Collection

Attending the presentation of the Fall/Winter 2025 collection felt like opening an old novel and finding inside a handwritten letter addressed to the present. 

A letter that speaks of the power of the classics and their ability to inhabit the timeless without losing relevance. 

Getting a closer look at the processes behind each garment—from design to material selection to meticulous construction—revealed that this house is in no rush, only in pursuit of purpose. Among layers of tweed, lightweight wools, and invisible seams, I was reminded that true luxury is not found in excess but in precision. 

The collection, inspired by the heroines of the Brontë sisters—women restrained on the outside yet profoundly free within—embodies an elegant, structured romanticism, with dramatic movement and silhouettes that speak softly yet unmistakably. Sharp tailoring, equestrian capes, clutch coats, and palettes that evoke autumnal moors complete this visual narrative. 

It was also a unique opportunity to explore the different categories that make up the brand’s universe: the sophistication and strength of the main line, the relaxed yet chic practicality of Weekend, and the modern, versatile focus of Marella. Three distinct identities that together build a broad and honest vision of what it means to dress well today: adapting to the different rhythms of life without sacrificing quality or identity. 

But perhaps the most powerful revelation was understanding that there is room here for everyone—for the woman walking the corridors of power and for the one carried away by the wind in an open field. Each piece is an invitation to become many versions of oneself—with grace, with intention, with beauty. And to me, that is the most intelligent way to make fashion.
