Max Mara Fall/Winter 2025: The Untamed Heroine

The Return Of Romantic Power: Brontë Inspiration Meets Modern Elegance
For Fall–Winter 2025, Max Mara introduces “The Untamed Heroine” — a woman of composure, intellect and purpose whose heart quietly yearns for the romance and drama of a windswept moor. Drawing on 19th‑century classics such as Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë and Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë, the collection balances restraint with longing, discipline with desire.
Midnight Blue Premier Handbag
Neo‑Gothic Chic Meets Urban Rustic Utility
This season, the redingote is reborn — cinched at the waist, full at the hem, now fitted with detachable quilted linings and sleeves in leather or shearling. When shortened at the waist, the redingote transforms into a sweeping full skirt that opens at the front, revealing rib‑knit stockings and culottes. Antique britches evolve into modern trousers with soft pleats and a broad waistband, while a shorter, sharply tailored jacket with articulated sleeves draws the silhouette tight. The waistcoat returns in a re-imagined compact form — worn under a jacket or as a country‑style gilet over a sharply cut coat.

The Outerwear Reigns: Coats, Capes & Cloaks of Power
Outerwear leads the narrative this season: from greatcoats with military overtones to squire‑like frock coats, capes, generous clutch coats, and robe‑like enveloping garments — sometimes with knitted backs and sleeves. Fabrics range from dense double‑face wool and featherweight worsteds to pure cashmere, offering warmth and a tactile whisper of luxury. The bespoke “Cascia” colour palette — soft greys, stormy neutrals, and moody tones — evokes the stones and skies of the Brontës’ Yorkshire landscape. Tweeds in berry reds, mossy greens, and autumnal bracken tones speak to rustic heritage, reinterpreted with refined sophistication and modern sensibility.

Knitwear & Layers: Victorian Romance Refined
Mouliné yarns are sculpted into intricately shaped sweaters that echo the contours of a Victorian bodice — a modern interpretation of femininity. Paired with tailored trousers or layered under coats, these knits create looks that are both rugged and refined. The interplay of texture — knit, wool, leather — becomes a statement of understated luxury.
Deep Black Big Bang Go Handbag
After Dark: Velvet, Drama & Operatic Silhouettes
When evening falls, the Untamed Heroine embraces coal‑black velvet gowns with boned bodices — garments that evoke drama, mystery, and emotional intensity. This is not minimalism, but theatrical elegance: a nod to gothic romance expressed through haute‑couture craftsmanship.
Bloody Mary Big Bang Go Handbag
The Modern Woman’s Romantic Moment — Without Sacrificing Strength
The Untamed Heroine is both strategist and dreamer. She strides into boardrooms in sculpted trousers and structured jackets or the city streets in a tailored coat — yet inside, she carries a novel: one of wind‑swept moors, forbidden love, and silent rebellion. Her wardrobe is a bridge between logic and longing, precision and passion. It’s a translation of a literary psyche into clothes for today — refined, powerful, unapologetically feminine.
