The Max Mara Spring Summer 2012 collection explores new horizons. Pure and linear, athletic and minimal, tailored and crafted. Shapes take on an inventive, futuristic look: three-quarter sleeve duster coats with contrasting leather piping, blouson blazers, tunic dresses paired with knee-length trousers, jumpsuits in ribbed jersey. Interesting material inlay effects: techno-cotton and jersey, leather and lurex, doublé fabrics and organza, metal details and micro-studs. Shades inspired by the colours of the desert: a full range of beige nuances, from the palest shade with golden highlights throughout to a darker tea, as well as mint green and total black.
