THE COLLECTION
‘On Set’ by Gabriella Pescucci for Weekend Max Mara will have fashion romantics revelling in a new wardrobe of frilly hem lines, puffed sleeves and quirky prints. But this is romance through a contemporary filter, so while the pretty trims and opulent detailing create a nostalgic, theatrical edge, the clothes are cut in classic silhouettes that make them wearable for everyday. Dresses are simple shifts in delicate hues, coats are chic, neat and belted but decorated with sea shells and coral, and scarves, chokers and conch straw hats add playful, eccentric finishing touches.
