Shortly after finding
Sportmax as Max Mara’s younger sister, Achille Maramotti came to realise that to succeed in fashion, you mustn’t create something new for the sake of it but instead reinterpret classic styles making them relevant for today. And the
Placido shorts do just that. Imagined from lightweight, stretch-cotton, the pair perch high on your hips and fall to a slim-fit. While the style feels tangibly new (thanks to its long-lined hem), there’s no way of denying its sports-driven 90s flair.
