Max Mara Takes Inspiration From Women Of The Wild For S/S 2027

Ian Griffiths mixed safari jackets, cargo vests and 1930s-inspired references to adventurous women in a show built around practical wearability.

  • In Milan on Thursday, Max Mara presented its Spring/Summer 2027 collection, emphasizing utility-inspired designs like safari jackets, cargo vests and trench coats paired with 1930s adventure themes.
  • Griffiths drew on his nearly 40-year tenure at the company, channeling 1930s explorers like Amelia Earhart and Osa Johnson to develop what he termed "corporate armor" and "equipment for living."
  • Textural linen safari jackets and cargo vests dominated the silhouette, with functional bellows pockets and storm flaps defining the pieces; cutout backs and halter necklines added contemporary spice.
  • Front row guests included Gossip Girl stars Leighton Meester and Kelly Rutherford, while critics praised the show as confident and free of gimmicks, emphasizing seamless wearability.
  • Griffiths tests all designs on his office staff and advises wearers to remove uncomfortable clothing immediately, proving that fantasy can flourish within classic wardrobe building blocks.
