Max Mara Clothing - The vision of Achille Maramotti,
The Max Mara clothing line was founded in 1951 and
has evolved into one of the most popular and successful clothing lines in the world.
While fairly common in the Italian fashion world, Max Mara clothing remains family
owned and operated,
despite the fact that no controlling family member is actually
a fashion designer.
Instead, they rely on savvy business decisions, most notably
using the successful formula
of hiring well-known fashionistas to design their
collections.
This strategy was popularized by Max Mara clothing, but now used
throughout the industry,
and is described by fashion critic Colin McDowell as
“fashion moonlighting.”
Some of the biggest names in fashion have designed
pieces for Max Mara,
and more recently the names of these designers have become
a closely-guarded secret.
The groundbreaking philosophy behind this
was to keep
the emphasis on the actual merits of the clothing,
instead of the name of the
designer.
MAX MARA is one of the oldest Ready-to-Wear Manufacturers in the world.
Their first collection consisted of just two (2) garments,
A Suit and An OverCoat
The brevity of design has always been Max Mara's signature.
The collections still focus on the key items of tailoring.
MAX MARA is the epitome of Italian Fashion.
