Weekend Max Mara has teamed up with American artist Richard Saja for their latest Signature Collection, a project inspired by the legendary Royal Ascot races, offering a collection of embroidered pieces entitled Trophy Day.
Richard Saja is known for his meticulous embroideries of historical textiles. Having exhibited internationally with expositions in New York, Paris, London, Berlin and the National Museum of Embroidery in South Korea, Saja artfully transforms classic toile de jouy textiles — fabric printed with typically domestic tableaus, hailing from 17th century France — into irreverent and bizarre scenes, which he describes as ‘interferences’.
For this Signature Collection, Saja has utilized his masterful embroidery techniques to embellish and elevate silk and cotton toile de jouy textiles for Weekend Max.

The collection features ten pieces with a color palette that includes hues of dark to light blue, ivory to white, and orange: a thigh-length overcoat of silk organdy; a cotton piquet blouse with voluminous sleeve detailing; cropped cotton trousers with a slight kick-flare; a cotton poplin shirt.

Two sleeveless, knee-length dresses: one, made in cotton faille with a fifties silhouette; the other, a low back A line shape made from cotton satin. Also featured is a clean-lined cropped silk organdy bolero without added embroidery. Weekend Max Mara’s iconic Pasticcino bag and a pair of slippers also enriched by colorful embroideries complete the offer.

Our picks from the dreamy collection, you can now find in stores.
