Max Mara is a global icon and Italy’s largest fashion house; synonymous with luxury, style and quality. It was establisehd in 1951 by Achille Maramotti, an Italian fashion designer with a passion for tailoring. He started his business designing high-end coats by applying French haute couture theory to industrial tailoring techniques. Using these industrial methods, he was able to offer more styles, cuts and colours than ever before, allowing him to reach a wide audience of customers. Thus Maramotti is credited as one of the first designers to bring designer-quality clothes to all via mass production.
Over the years, Max Mara has spawned 35 additional labels catering to various customer groups. After Maramotti’s death in 2005, his children took over the reins and continue to run the company as a family business to this day. Ian Griffith has been creative director at Max Mara for the past 3 decades, and has maintained the brand’s ethos of luxury, style, and quality, while catering to a modern working woman.
Current Creative Director: Ian Griffith
