LINEAR LUXE

Mathematicians rarely grace the fashion moodboard. They’re more likely to be found scrawling proofs than inspiring sartorial aesthetics. But leave it to Max Mara, the venerable Italian label synonymous with precision tailoring and intellectual chic, to rewrite the formula. For Spring Summer 2025, the Italian luxury house directs its attention to Hypatia of Alexandria, a 4th-century philosopher, astronomer, and mathematician whose legacy lies in logic, learning, and fierce independence. She’s not your usual fashion muse, but that’s exactly the point. This collection isn’t about soft romance or whimsical nostalgia, but rather about calculated beauty, fashion as a form of architectural logic. The result? Tailoring that thinks. A wardrobe that feels like a theorem solved in silk and poplin. A trigonometrical twist is explored in the cuts: angles, planes, and lines that look like they were plotted before they were sewn. A re-engineered shoulder that’s sharp, square, and narrow brings a new kind of power to suiting. The palette in rich neutrals takes cues from the science lab, where crystalline white, copper oxide, delphinium blue, and silver nitrate echo both chemistry and geometry in a delicate dance between form and formula. maxmara.com
