In a tribute to Venice's glorious history in textiles and glass making, the Pasticcino Bag Modello Venezia edition is crafted with sumptuous Fortuny textiles and colorful glass beads made in Murano.

“Classic doesn’t have to be conservative”: Max Mara has said it all along, and now produces three witnesses whose style and substance uphold the aphorism. Frances Ann Lebowitz is a native New Yorker, a writer, wit, raconteur and sometime actor, known for her sardonic social commentary. In the ‘70s she embodied the hip, downtown Manhattan of Andy Warhol’s ‘Interview’ and now she is wowing a new generation of fans in Martin Scorsese’s documentary series ‘Pretend It’s a City’. W

Giving shape to bodies and faces, capturing the uniqueness of the human spirit in light and shade - ‘mediating between nothingness and being’ - this was the eternal quest of the sculptor, Alberto Giacometti. The Fall Winter 2022 Max Mara Atelier Collection is a tribute to Giacometti’s ability to question material and give it a new power. This translates into 12 coats with sculptural volumes that, like true works of art, defy time by remaining eternally modern. Made of cashmer

Modernist Magic Max Mara pays homage to a creative polymath whose oeuvre was overlooked for decades, and is now rediscovered.

At Cabaret Voltaire in Zurich, Taeuber-Arp and fellow artists of the avant-garde including Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Giorgio de Chirico, Max Ernst and Guillaume

The revolutionary tradition: the timeless coats of the Max Mara Atelier Collection There’s an artist who draws the world without using paint, inventing it through the signs and materials of the real universe, in which tradition becomes revolutionary: Jannis Kounellis has given a romantic, sensual shape to contemporary life.

Cool, crisp, timeless but always timely. White in all its shades, from optic to ivory, is the highest expression of a versatile warm-weather elegance. Light layers play with textures, volumes and subtle nuances for a sophisticated take on tonal dressing. Rustic surfaces evocative of handmade carpets, fringes and jacquard knits are countered by flowing, fluid fabrics. Airy in white – the trench, a yarn-dyed linen suit, breezy dresses, double-breasted blazers – are true Weekend

‘Fiction needs more female spies,’ says feminist writer Natasha Walter, ‘after all, women are trained to keep secrets’. Her fiction debut A Quiet Life puts a woman at the centre of a spy thriller. She’s not the first –action adventuress Modesty Blaise has been around since 1963- but she’s one of very few. The latest is the BBC America phenomenon Killing Eve. It has won a bunch of accolades (with nine Emmy nominations pending) and its writer, woman-of-the-moment Phoebe Waller-

Painters, poets and philosophers, composers, cartoonists and crooners from Shakespeare to Stevie Nicks, TS Eliot to Tracy Emin, Jeanette Winterson to Jean Genet; they have all felt the lure of the sea. Max Mara shares their fascination.The ocean is a potent metaphor for the human condition; hazard and hope, love and longing, valour and vaingloriousness. Tales of ships and sailors are universal. “In civilisations without boats,” Michel Foucault observed, “dreams dry up.”Ms Max
