IT WAS cool, it was sleek and it was straight to the point. Ian Griffiths, the creative director of Max Mara, debuted his SS18 collection in Milan and he kept to the brand familiar colour palette but this time it was surprisingly refreshing.
The overall collection had a very turned down 1980s power suit feel about it. With healthy amount of black, grey, pastel purple, white, caramel block colours and flower prints designs we can definitely see our workwear getting an upgrade.
Despite its simplicity, a Glass favourite was the lavender suit. The suit was a fitted two button jacket which seemed to be a soft suede material with sheer sleeves. Fitted with typical blazer pockets and silk collar lapels with a similar sheer shirt underneath. The model also wore tailored trousers which had a not noticeable flare around the ankle. The overall suit has a shiny, sheen coating over it making it appropriate for day and night. The garment was also seen in the caramel colour but with a double breasted blazer as well as black and off-white colour which had a thicker material.
Another standout look was the slimming see-through white jumper with the obvious white camisole underneath. Paired with dark denim jeans which had a metal silver colour from the knee down and a black, leather cross-body bag – it made the school-run mum vibe outfit extremely cool.
Max Mara took the simple, minimal look that is seen everywhere this year and made it their own. With clean, cut tailoring, silhouettes, colours and prints the clothing was effortless and easy.
