All the ease of an Eastern Seaboard day
Contemporary Italian brand Weekend Max Mara has partnered with noted interior designer Anthony Baratta on a 12-piece capsule collection for spring designed to reflect the easy upscale vibe of summer East Coast retreats. The “Nantucket” offering includes oversize gingham, strong florals and the sorts of patterns seen on precious blue-and-white Chinese porcelain — the sorts of design elements used in the luxurious summer estates on the Eastern Seaboard that Baratta is known for. The collection, priced at $175 and up, extends to new variations of the Pasticcino handbag as well as cotton canvas slippers, and overall capsule colors range from a crisp pastel blue to an egg yolk yellow. The collection is available for pre-order and can be purchased at Weekend Max Mara at South Coast Plaza, the fashion brand’s only U.S. retail location, and on weekendmaxamara.com beginning in March.
