From the stage to the streets, Weekend Max Mara unveils a new Signature capsule for Spring Summer 2020 called On Set by Gabriella Pescucci. The Oscar-winning Italian costume designer lends her touch to the collection inspired by three of her blockbuster works – The Age of Innocence, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, and the TV series The Borgias. On Set by Gabriella Pescucci seamlessly fuses film references, sets and periods, turning the fictional into reality via a dreamy line-up delivered in a tightly edited palette of white, blush and ivory, plus a touch of black.

The pristine freshness of cotton, organdie and linen, at times perforated and cut out, is elevated with whispered details and feminine shapes, evocative of the different movies.

The shells and coral branches that embellish a duster, a flouncy skirt and an A-line dress channel The Adventures of Baron Munchausen.

Tops and shirts with puffed or flared sleeves, braided elements and ruffles nod at Lucrezia Borgia, a woman of power and sensuality.

The accessories elevate each theme, starting with the signature Pasticcino Bag made from a shell-printed cotton in muted pastels reminiscent of Terry Gilliam’s The Adventures of Baron Munchausen film.
