When you think of Max Mara, you think of minimalism and camel coats. It’s true the brand’s signature clean lines were still there for fall, and yes, there were a number of camel coats, but the brand also exhibited a more playful and adorned aesthetic than seasons passed–a mix we’d call ’60s swinger meets Oliver Twist.

Mixed in among the minimalist staples were workwear-inspired pieces like an olive green jumpsuit or an overalls dress with leather straps. Newsboy caps topped many of the looks in matching colors and when paired with the more rugged outfits the effect was a sort of modern, feminine, Oliver Twist. However when the caps were matched with sleeker looks like a body fitting dress or a turtleneck sweater the aesthetic reminded us more of a 60s mod girl– and a little bit of Victoria Beckham‘s spring collection for that matter.

The setting for the Roksanda Ilincic show was unabashedly English–a series of small, elegant drawing rooms (which were connected by a runway) made it feel very intimate and a throwback to another era. All I needed was a tea trolley. But the clothes were definitely of this day and age.

Think slouchy “sweat pants” and hoodies made of cashmere.
