The first piece
Max Mara’s Creative Director, Ian Griffiths, created when he arrived at the Italian fashion house was a coat. Continuing the label’s love affair with layers, he crafts this double-breasted style from a fluffy wool-blend and shapes it to a snuggly, oversized fit for its Resort collection. Falling to just past your knees, it was teamed with flowing wide-leg trousers and a sheer turtleneck on the runway, but we say it’s just as suited to floral-print maxi dresses.
