Punk Meets Tailoring
The Max Mara S/S 2016 Ready To Wear collection, presented at Milan Fashion Week, takes a new wave punk approach to classic paint-splattered suits and tailored separates. The runway blends rebellion with refinement, turning structured garments into bold, modern statements.
Inspiration and Silhouettes
Drawing inspiration from stars-and-stripes sailor motifs, the collection incorporates linear, 80’s-inspired designs with sharp edges and graphic patterns. Tailored jackets, high-waist trousers, and sleek skirts are accentuated with bold lines and unexpected details, giving a nod to both punk attitude and preppy nautical style.
Styling and Aesthetic
The styling emphasizes structured tailoring paired with playful, rebellious touches, from paint-like prints to edgy accessories. Each look feels confident, modern, and full of personality, blending classic elegance with youthful energy.
