My dear fashionistas, welcome to my first Fall fashion story on the Mr. M & Mrs. Mom blog pages this season. I sincerely hope that this season I will justify your trust and that I will be able to inspire women in their prime to change the way they look at life and introduce novelty into their everyday life through my vision of fashion. Today I will do my best to present you some new autumn fashion novelties that have arrived in my wardrobe, with which we will open the Fall – Winter season on the Mr. M & Mrs. Mom blog.
This unexpected hobby of mine and writing fashion stories became interesting to me because I noticed that people found my stories interesting and inspiring. Honestly, I did not expect my writing of fashion stories to experience such success and I am immensely grateful for your wonderful messages, as well as your selfless support.
When I start something, I always think carefully whether to accept something because every challenge is a responsibility, and so is my writing of fashion stories. I was skeptical at the beginning of this year because of all bad things after cosmetic surgery had happened, whether I would even be ready to embark on the adventure of writing spring and summer stories, but at the persuasion of my family, friends and my psychotherapist, it turned out that this type of work was healing for me and that I somehow managed to prove to myself with this challenge that I can push the boundaries regardless of the difficulties that may arise during the process. Everything in life requires self-confidence, courage and self-love so that a person can achieve higher goals. This autumn I am more prepared and slowly getting used to the new situation in my life.
I believe many of you have heard about MYTHERESA shopping e-commerce on Mr. M & Mrs. Mom blog, but I would like to introduce you to this online fashion paradise. MYTHERESA is one of the leading global luxury e-commerce platforms operating in over 130 countries. Founded as a boutique in 1987, MYTHERESA launched online in 2006 and offers ready-to-wear, shoes, bags and accessories for women, men and children, as well as lifestyle products.
The MYTHERESA online store was founded in 2006 by Susanne and Christoph Botschen and is connected to the multi-brand store in Munich (formerly the THERESA store). In 2014, the THERESA store and mytheresa.com were acquired by the American luxury retailer Neiman Marcus for €150 million, giving Neiman Marcus greater access to international customers and strengthening their e-commerce technology.
During Neiman Marcus’ bankruptcy in 2020, the company began the process of spinning off Mytheresa as an independent entity. In January 2019, Mytheresa launched a children’s clothing category, and in January 2020, Mytheresa Men was launched. In May 2022, a new homeware and lifestyle category followed. In 2022, Mytheresa expanded its luxury offering to include home decor and lifestyle products.
The novelty they presented this year is the launch of certified second-hand watches from over 25 luxury brands, such as Audemars Piguet and Cartier, in cooperation with the Swiss jewelry and watch company Bucherer. As a global retailer, Mytheresa operates in 8 languages: English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese and Korean.
In today’s post, you will see some fashion pieces from brands that you can find on the MYTHERESAonline shopping platform, such as: Max Mara, Loro Piana, Saint Laurent and Tod’s.
We start today’s fashion story with old friends Mr. M&Mrs. Mom of the blog – Max Mara. Max Mara is a world famous Italian fashion brand. It was founded in 1951 in Reggio Emilia by Mr. Achille Maramotti. This legendary brand sponsors and awards the Max Mara Women’s Art Award. Achille Maramotti started creating wardrobes in 1947, and officially founded the Max Mara fashion house in 1951. How did the brand name come about?
The second word of the brand – “Mara” was derived from Mr. Maramotti surname, while “Max” referred to Count Max, a local legend, who was rarely sober, but always so classy and stylish! Mr. Maramotti was one of the first to see that the future of women’s fashion lay in the mass production of designer quality clothing. He also wanted to put his Max Mara brand at the top in front of the names of individual designers, although he hired Karl Lagerfeld, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, Dolce & Gabbana, Narciso Rodriguez and Anne Marie Beretta. The company is still in the hands of the family and is one of the best family fashion businesses in the world.
The Max Mara group has 35 brands in its fashion empire, of which the Max Mara brand remains the heart of the company to this day. Other brands include Sportmax, Sportmax Code, Weekend Max Mara, Marella, Pennyblack, iBlues, MAX&Co. and Marina Rinaldi. An interesting information is that Marina Rinaldi is a brand founded in 1980 and named after the greatmother of Mr. Maramotti.
Max Mara is my favorite brand because it absolutely meets my criteria when it comes to wardrobe, which are: quality, interesting models and cuts, good selection of materials, as well as fine processing of them. I’m sure you’ve all seen by now how much I love cashmere, so this Ludmilla coat is my new fashion love that I’m sure I’ll wear for a long, long time. This coat is made from the finest pure tobacco cashmere, hand stitched in Italy with two layers of soft cashmere.
Made of hand-stitched pure double cashmere, the Ludmilla coat shines like satin. Its shine is the result of a carding process that releases impurities from the fabric, making it flawless to the touch and visually. Finishing the coat with a custom binding that makes it unique, it epitomizes a relaxed attitude and attention to detail. This coat is made for true connoisseurs, when one hears the call for special luxury or the art of choosing the best without boasting, the instinctive answer is Ludmilla.
A timeless piece from the Max Mara collection, the Ludmilla coat epitomizes laid-back appeal that doesn’t sacrifice luxurious fabrics and impeccable attention to detail. Reinterpreted in 2016 and reintroduced in all collections since then, it is one of the iconic pieces of Max Mara style. It stands out with its generous silhouette that hugs the body, and can be adjusted thanks to the coordinated belt. Kimono sleeves and large patch pockets emphasize its understated, refined luxury.
In addition to the excellent material processing, the model of this coat itself is modern and unusual. Depending on what you plan to wear with this coat, it can be nicely combined with elegant outfits, as well as with some relaxed everyday casual outfits. In addition to the coat, gloves and a bag are also part of the Max Mara collection. This bag is part of the old Max Mara collection, but because I really wanted to have this bag, the Max Mara team found it in their archives and I got this wonderful bag because I had it on Pinterest as my favorite piece, but that’s why the gloves are part the latest Max Mara Fall – Winter 2024 collections.
I would like to write a small note for all interested ladies who want to own a Ludmilla coat. This coat is significantly oversized and I chose an Italian size 36, but it’s a little big on me and I think I should have taken an IT34 size, since I lost a lot of weight and I weigh significantly less, so I wasn’t sure which coat size would suit me, that’s why I took the IT36 size, and my son urged me to take the IT34 number, honestly right now I feel a lot of guilt for not listening to him.
Certain pieces from the Max Mara women’s collection can also be found on the MYTHERESA e-commerce shopping platform.

Loro Piana is an Italian company specialised in clothing and textile products. This fashion house is considered the largest producer of cashmere and also the world’s largest artisanal company processing the luxury fiber.
The Loro Piana company has three divisions (textile divisions): a division that deals with the production of high-quality materials using precious fibers such as cashmere and baby cashmere, vicuna, linen and merino wool, a division that deals with the creation of luxury fashion items(production and distribution of men’s, women’s clothing, footwear and fashion accessories) and the interior design department – production and distribution of interior design products.
In today’s post you have the opportunity to see two interesting pieces from the women’s Loro Piana FW24 collection, which is just a small part of my favourites this season because of its distinctive elegance and my love for bright colours and soft pastels. Drap color pants are perfect for all occasions and can be easily combined with other colors, they are made of cashmere. On the other hand, a Loro Piana beige roll made of the finest cashmere.
Certain pieces from the Loro Piana women’s collection can also be found on the MYTHERESA e-commerce shopping platform.

Everyone who follows my fashion stories knows that I am a big fan of quality and interesting jewelry, I always try to pay maximum attention to fashion details such as jewelry. Today we are hanging out with a well-known French house whose creations I adore and I was happy to wear their clothes and shoes, and now I have the opportunity to wear their jewelry – SAINT LAURENT.
The necklace and earrings are a true masterpiece of this famous French fashion house and have a very attractive design that is very elegant and refined. I love the amber stone in the necklace, which went perfectly with the tobacco-colored Max Mara coat.
If it weren’t for my friends from MYTHERESA, an e-commerce shopping platform that represents a true fashion treasure trove for all lovers of men’s and women’s fashion, pieces like Max Mara coats, bags and gloves, Loro Piana turtleneck sweater and trousers, SAINT LAURENT necklaces and earrings and Tod’s shoes wouldn’t exist today in this blog post on the Mr. M & Mrs. Mom blog. I am very grateful to the MYTHERESA platform for the trust shown and the wonderful collaboration, and I would like to take the opportunity to once again thank the MYTHERESA team from the bottom of my heart for the wonderful collaboration.
This time I decided to complete my outfit with shoes from the Italian brand Tod’s. There is no person who has not resisted wearing these famous Italian fashion houses, regardless of whether it is a person of female or male gender, Tod’s shoes are loved by the whole planet because of their refined elegance and incredible comfort. The shoes from today’s fashion story are an iconic model with a gold-colored metal logo, while the shoes are made of dark brown croco print leather.
Of course, the fashion statement piece that every stylish woman needs and that helps you “hide” from the world when you need a break – sunglasses! This famous Panthère de Cartier sunglasses model is a timeless model, a piece that can be passed down to generations to come! I would like to thank the MYTHERESA team for the wonderful gift.
Certain models of optical frames and sunglasses from the Cartier collection can also be found on the MYTHERESA online shopping platform.

I hope you enjoyed my first fall fashion story for the season. Soon I will show you new autumn and winter outfits that can serve as inspiration for the new fashion season. See you soon at the same place, with some new interesting story. I will try not to take long breaks and I hope you understand the reason for my unexpected absence, but there will be time to catch up and I am sure I will meet your expectations.
Special note: All my photos from today’s post have been specially edited to meet the expectations of blog partners, as well as the readers themselves while respecting the aesthetics and guidelines of fashion photography. Unfortunately, the face and neck lifting operations did not go well and due to the negligence of the medical team from Egypt, I suffered serious aesthetic and health consequences. In agreement with my legal team, I wrote a post with all the details that can be found on this LINK.
Best Regards,
Rose
This post is sponsored by the Max Mara, Loro Piana, Saint Laurent and Tod’s via MYTHERESA luxury e-commerce online shopping platform and Cartier brand. This post is my personal and honest review of their products.
Max Mara is a truly classic and iconic brand that is always recognizable. I have several of their cashmere coats, but I never knew how to tell them apart by model because to my eye they look similar. Dear Mrs. Rose your coat is special and the color is amazing as tobacco color is an eternal must have color that every woman should have in her wardrobe. Your outfit today is amazing and I really like your bag, necklace and sunglasses.
Hello Mrs. Rose, you look amazing and really shine! I would like to look at least 5% in my prime. You are a woman who is proof that all miracles are possible and thank you for the wonderful fashion stories you share with us. I am very sorry that my mom is not as cheerful and energetic as you, but I truly admire your energy and charisma that you radiate.
Dear Rose, I’m really glad that someone of our age managed to inspire women that life really exists even after that famous 50 after which people think we should leave this world… You are really a special woman with a refined fashion taste, a real elegant lady with style and I always admire how you manage everything! I have a black Max Mara coat, but it is made of wool, I bought it a few years ago and I still wear it with pleasure. I can’t wait to read your next fashion stories this fashion season!
A woman like you who looks like a fashion icon can really make everything look its best. I wish I had at least a fraction of your energy. You are a special woman and very charismatic. The Max Mara Ludmilla coat is a truly special fashion piece and the woman who wears it must really know how to wear such a coat so that it does not come off as a funny appearance in an expensive coat. I admire how you brought this coat with your outfit.
I love Luisa Spagnoli and Max Mara brands for their timeless classic style. I love their coats and silk garments like dresses, tops and shirts.
Fall and winter are my favorite fashion seasons precisely because of coats. For me, Max Mara coats are always associated with autumn and winter with style.
Dear Rose, the Max Mara Ludmilla coat in tobacco cashmere is absolutely one of those pieces that defines an entire wardrobe season the way that double layer of hand-stitched pure cashmere achieves that satin-like shine through the carding process is something I have never seen explained so clearly before. I own the classic Max Mara 101801 coat in camel and have always admired how the Maramotti family manages to make every iconic piece feel both modern and completely timeless. The detail about the kimono sleeves and large patch pockets on the Ludmilla is so clever, it gives such a relaxed… Read more »
Liebe Rose, dieser Mantel ist einfach atemberaubend! Ich habe den Max Mara Ludmilla schon in Modezeitschriften gesehen, aber erst durch Ihre Beschreibung habe ich wirklich verstanden, was ihn so besonders macht das Kaschmir wird in zwei Lagen von Hand genäht und durch einen Kardierungsprozess bearbeitet, der die Fasern von Verunreinigungen befreit und diesen charakteristischen Satinglanz erzeugt. Es ist interessant zu erfahren, dass der Ludmilla-Mantel 2016 neu interpretiert wurde und seitdem ein fester Bestandteil aller Max Mara Kollektionen ist. Ich selbst besitze einen Weekend Max Mara Mantel aus Wolle, der schon viele Jahre in meiner Garderobe hängt und noch immer perfekt… Read more »
Chère Rose, le manteau Ludmilla de Max Mara dans ce magnifique coloris tabac est à couper le souffle! Je savais que Max Mara était un pilier de la mode italienne depuis sa fondation en 1951 à Reggio Emilia par Achille Maramotti, mais je ne connaissais pas l’origine du nom de la marque l’anecdote du comte Max, toujours élégant malgré ses habitudes, est vraiment charmante. La technique de double cachemire cousu main avec le processus de cardage qui lui donne cet éclat satiné est quelque chose que l’on ne trouve que chez les très grandes maisons. J’ai moi-même un manteau Saint… Read more »
Hello Rose, I have been dreaming about the Max Mara Ludmilla for two seasons now and your post has finally convinced me to take the plunge! The fact that it is hand-stitched in Italy with two layers of pure cashmere, and that the carding process used to achieve that beautiful satin sheen also removes all impurities from the fabric making it flawless to the touch, genuinely sets it apart from other luxury coats at a similar price point. I was particularly fascinated to learn that Max Mara founder Achille Maramotti was one of the first designers to recognise that the… Read more »
Beste Rose, wat een heerlijke herfstpost! De Max Mara Ludmilla jas in tabakskleurige kasjmier is precies het soort tijdloze investering waar ik altijd naar zoek dubbellaags handgestikt kasjmier dat door een kaardproces zijn verontreinigingen verliest en daardoor die kenmerkende satijnen glans krijgt is werkelijk een unieke techniek. Ik vind het ook heel interessant dat je uitleg geeft over de geschiedenis van Max Mara: Achille Maramotti begon in 1947 met het ontwerpen van garderobecollecties voordat hij het modehuis in 1951 officieel oprichtte in Reggio Emilia, en de naam is een combinatie van de lokale legende graaf Max en de familienaam Maramotti.… Read more »
¡Querida Rose, qué elegancia tan refinada transmite este abrigo! El Max Mara Ludmilla en cachemira color tabaco con esas dos capas cosidas a mano y el proceso de cardado que le da ese brillo satinado es exactamente el tipo de pieza que uno compra una vez y conserva para toda la vida. Me ha encantado descubrir la historia detrás del nombre de Max Mara que “Max” venga de un conde local que siempre iba impecablemente elegante a pesar de todo, y “Mara” del apellido Maramotti, le da a la marca una personalidad muy especial desde sus orígenes en Reggio Emilia… Read more »
Cara Rose, il cappotto Ludmilla di Max Mara in cashmere tabacco è uno di quei pezzi iconici della moda italiana che ogni donna dovrebbe conoscere! La doppia fodera di cashmere cucita a mano in Italia con quel processo di cardatura che elimina le impurità e dona alla superficie quel brillio simile al raso è una tecnica che pochissimi produttori al mondo sanno ancora applicare con questi risultati. Mi ha colpito molto la storia del nome: il “Max” deriva da un nobile locale che era sempre elegantissimo, mentre “Mara” è una contrazione del cognome Maramotti un fondatore che nel 1951 a… Read more »
Rose, the combination you have put together here is a masterclass in building a tonal autumn look the tobacco cashmere of the Ludmilla coat, the drap-colored Loro Piana cashmere trousers, the amber stone of the Saint Laurent necklace and the dark brown croco print of the Tod’s shoes all speak the same warm, earthy language without a single element competing for attention. I particularly love the detail about MYTHERESA knowing that it was founded in 1987 as a physical boutique in Munich before launching online in 2006 and then being acquired by Neiman Marcus in 2014 for €150 million gives… Read more »
Liebe Rose, Ihr heutiger Beitrag über den Max Mara Ludmilla-Mantel hat mich in eine kleine Modereise mitgenommen! Ich wusste, dass Max Mara ein großartiges Modehuis ist, aber die Information, dass Achille Maramotti im Laufe seiner Karriere so unterschiedliche Designer wie Karl Lagerfeld, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, Dolce & Gabbana, Narciso Rodriguez und Anne Marie Beretta für sein Haus engagiert hat, zeigt wirklich die Breite seiner Vision. Besonders berührt hat mich, dass er trotzdem darauf bestand, den Namen Max Mara vor die Namen der einzelnen Designer zu stellen eine kluge unternehmerische Entscheidung, die der Marke ihre zeitlose Identität gesichert hat. Ich besitze… Read more »
Hello Rose! This is only my second time visiting your blog but the Ludmilla post has already made me a devoted reader. The technical detail about the carding process that removes impurities from the double cashmere and creates that satin-like visual effect is the kind of information that makes the difference between appreciating a luxury piece superficially and truly understanding why it commands its price. I have a Saint Laurent blazer in black that I have worn for five years and which still looks impeccably sharp, so reading about the Saint Laurent amber necklace and earrings you are wearing reminds… Read more »
Bonjour Rose, je vous lis depuis plusieurs mois et ce billet sur le Ludmilla est sans doute mon préféré jusqu’ici. La description technique du processus de cardage qui donne au double cachemire cousu main ce brillant satiné est tellement précise et instructive on comprend enfin pourquoi ce manteau coûte ce qu’il coûte et pourquoi il mérite pleinement ce prix. J’ai personnellement plusieurs pièces Tod’s dans ma garde-robe, notamment une paire de mocassins que je porte depuis cinq ans et qui sont encore parfaits, donc je comprends votre enthousiasme pour les chaussures Tod’s en cuir imprimé crocodile brun foncé avec logo… Read more »
Dear Rose, I want to comment specifically on the Saint Laurent jewellery you are wearing in this post because I think it is the detail that elevates the entire look from beautiful to extraordinary. The way that amber stone in the necklace picks up the tobacco tone of the Ludmilla coat creates a visual continuity that feels completely effortless and yet must have required real thought and an excellent eye for colour. Saint Laurent under its various creative directors has always produced jewellery that manages to be bold without being heavy, and these pieces look perfectly calibrated for an autumn… Read more »
Lieve Rose, de Panthere de Cartier zonnebril is voor mij het meest bijzondere stukje van dit outfit! Die zonnebril is al decennialang een echt Cartier-icoon en ik ben het volledig met je eens dat het een stuk is dat van generatie op generatie doorgegeven kan worden. Ik heb zelf een Cartier Trinity armband die ik van mijn moeder heb gekregen en die ik al meer dan twintig jaar draag die continuïteit van kwaliteit is voor mij wat luxe echt betekent. Het is ook heel interessant dat MYTHERESA dit jaar gecertificeerde tweedehands horloges van meer dan 25 luxemerken heeft gelanceerd in… Read more »
Rose, your description of the Max Mara Ludmilla as a coat “made for true connoisseurs, when one hears the call for special luxury or the art of choosing the best without boasting” is one of the most precise definitions of quiet luxury I have ever read on a fashion blog. I have been a Max Mara customer since my thirties and have followed how the Ludmilla was reinterpreted in 2016 and then reintroduced into every collection since, it is a rare thing for a luxury brand to commit so firmly to a single iconic piece season after season without change.… Read more »
Liebe Rose, ich verfolge Ihren Blog schon seit Langem und dieser Beitrag über den Ludmilla-Mantel von Max Mara ist wirklich außergewöhnlich! Die Geschichte hinter dem Namen Max Mara kannte ich nicht die Kombination aus dem lokalen Grafen Max, der immer unverbesserlich stilvoll war, und dem Familiennamen Maramotti ist eine charmante und einprägsame Herkunftsgeschichte. Ich besitze seit Jahren Kleidungsstücke von Marina Rinaldi, einer Marke der Max Mara-Gruppe, und jetzt wo ich weiß, dass Marina Rinaldi 1980 nach der Urgroßmutter von Herrn Maramotti benannt wurde, haben diese Stücke für mich gleich eine noch persönlichere Bedeutung. Der Einsatz von Mytheresa als Einkaufsplattform ist… Read more »
Cara Rose, questo post è una vera celebrazione del meglio che la moda italiana può offrire in autunno! Il Ludmilla di Max Mara nel suo cachemire doppio color tabacco con quella tecnica di cardatura che gli conferisce il brillio simile al raso è un cappotto che ho visto in boutique ma di cui non capivo appieno la complessità produttiva fino a oggi. Apprezzo molto la tua onestà riguardo alla taglia scegliere IT36 invece di IT34 è un errore che molte di noi fanno quando non siamo sicure di come un capo molto ampio cadrà sul corpo, ed è proprio il… Read more »
Hi Rose, I have been looking at the Max Mara Ludmilla coat for the past year and your post has given me all the final information I needed to understand why it is worth the investment. The specific detail that Max Mara uses a carding process to remove all impurities from the double cashmere before the hand-stitching, creating a fabric that is “flawless to the touch and visually” that is not marketing language but a genuine technical description of why this coat feels and looks different from any other cashmere coat on the market. I am also very interested in… Read more »
Hola Rose, este artículo sobre el Ludmilla de Max Mara me ha llegado en el momento perfecto porque estoy buscando exactamente este tipo de abrigo para esta temporada. Me ha impresionado mucho descubrir que Max Mara contrató durante su historia a diseñadores tan distintos como Karl Lagerfeld, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, Dolce & Gabbana, Narciso Rodriguez y Anne Marie Beretta, y aun así logró que la identidad de la marca prevaleciera siempre sobre los nombres individuales, eso habla de una visión empresarial verdaderamente extraordinaria. El proceso de doble cachemira cosida a mano con el cardado que elimina impurezas y crea ese… Read more »
Liebe Rose, als jemand, der seiner Frau regelmäßig bei der Auswahl von Luxusmode hilft, lese ich Ihren Blog als eine der zuverlässigsten Quellen für fundierte Modegeschichten. Die Information über MYTHERESA ist besonders nützlich, ich wusste nicht, dass die Plattform 1987 als physische Boutique von Susanne und Christoph Botschen in München gegründet wurde und erst 2006 online ging, bevor sie 2014 für 150 Millionen Euro von Neiman Marcus übernommen wurde. Die Tatsache, dass MYTHERESA in über 130 Ländern operiert und in 8 Sprachen verfügbar ist, macht es zu einem wirklich globalen Luxusanbieter, auf den man sich verlassen kann. Meine Frau ist… Read more »
Rose, the way you have layered Loro Piana cashmere underneath the Max Mara Ludmilla creates such a beautiful interplay of textures, both brands work with the finest natural fibres but approach them from such different angles, Max Mara through their couture-influenced ready-to-wear and Loro Piana through their textile heritage as the world’s largest artisanal processor of luxury fibres. The drap-colored cashmere trousers from Loro Piana FW24 with their perfect fit are an inspired choice under such a voluminous coat because they keep the silhouette anchored and elegant without competing with the Ludmilla’s generous proportions. I also want to say that… Read more »
Chère Rose, je suis une grande admiratrice de Max Mara depuis des années et votre description du Ludmilla m’a appris des détails que même les vendeuses en boutique ne prennent pas toujours la peine d’expliquer. Le processus de cardage du double cachemire cousu main qui crée cette brillance satinée caractéristique est fascinant, et comprendre ce procédé technique change vraiment la perception de ce que l’on paie. Je possède une veste Sportmax l’une des 35 marques du groupe Max Mara et j’ai toujours admiré comment la famille Maramotti maintient une qualité cohérente à travers un portefeuille aussi diversifié. Le collier Saint… Read more »
Dear Rose, the detail in your post that strikes me most is the story of the Max Mara bag, that you had it saved on your Pinterest board as a favourite piece from an older collection and the Max Mara team searched their archives to find it for you. That kind of personal relationship between a brand and its devoted admirers is something that money alone cannot buy and says everything about the genuine warmth that the Maramotti family brings to their business. The Loro Piana FW24 pieces you are wearing underneath the Ludmilla are exactly what I would choose… Read more »
Lieve Rose, de outfit in dit artikel is werkelijk adembenemend in zijn samenhang! De Max Mara Ludmilla in tabakskleurig kasjmier met zijn kimono-mouwen en grote opgenaaide zakken gecombineerd met de drap-kleurige Loro Piana kasjmier broek en coltrui is het perfecte voorbeeld van Italiaanse stille luxe op zijn best. Wat me heel bijzonder leek is dat de Ludmilla in 2016 opnieuw werd geïnterpreteerd en sindsdien in elke collectie terugkeert als een vast iconisch stuk dat is het soort commitment aan tijdloosheid dat grote modehuizen van voorbijgaande trends onderscheidt. De Saint Laurent sieraden met de amberkleurige steen in de ketting die zo… Read more »
Dear Rose, I want to compliment you specifically on the way you explain MYTHERESA in this post the history from its founding as a Munich boutique by Susanne and Christoph Botschen in 1987, through its online launch in 2006 and the Neiman Marcus acquisition in 2014 for €150 million, to its current status as a platform operating in over 130 countries and 8 languages, gives readers a genuinely useful context for why this is a trustworthy destination for luxury purchases. The new certified pre-owned watch service they launched in partnership with Bucherer covering over 25 luxury brands including Audemars Piguet… Read more »
Liebe Rose, der Ludmilla-Mantel von Max Mara ist wirklich ein Traumstück diese Beschreibung des doppelten Kaschmirs, der per Hand in Italien genäht wird und durch den Kardierungsprozess diesen charakteristischen Satinglanz bekommt, lässt mich schon beim Lesen an die Weichheit des Materials denken. Ich besitze selbst einen Max Mara Coat in der Farbe Camel aus einer früheren Kollektion und trage ihn seit vielen Jahren er hängt noch immer perfekt und die Qualität hat sich über die Zeit sogar noch verbessert. Die Kombination mit dem Saint Laurent-Schmuck ist sehr klug: ich hätte nicht unbedingt gedacht, dass Schmuck des französischen Hauses so gut… Read more »
Hello Rose, I have been following Max Mara collections for many years and I want to share that the Ludmilla coat in tobacco really is one of the most wearable and beautiful pieces they have produced in recent memory. The generous oversized silhouette with kimono sleeves that you describe is something many women are nervous about, but as you demonstrate it works so beautifully when the pieces underneath are properly fitted the Loro Piana slim cashmere trousers provide exactly the right counterbalance to the coat’s volume. I was also genuinely moved by your personal note at the beginning of the… Read more »
Bonjour Rose, quelle belle découverte que cet article sur le Ludmilla! Je suis particulièrement touchée par l’histoire que vous racontez sur le sac Max Mara que vous l’aviez épinglé sur Pinterest comme une pièce préférée d’une ancienne collection et que l’équipe Max Mara ait fouillé dans ses archives pour le retrouver pour vous, c’est un geste d’une rare générosité de la part d’une maison de mode. Pour les lunettes Panthère de Cartier, je partage totalement votre admiration ce modèle existe depuis des décennies et représente pour moi l’accessoire Cartier par excellence, une pièce que l’on conserve vraiment pour toujours. J’ai… Read more »
Cara Rose, la storia della borsa Max Mara trovata negli archivi del brand grazie alla tua bacheca Pinterest è semplicemente romantica nel senso più bello del termine! Questa aneddotica dice molto sul rapporto speciale che Max Mara coltiva con le donne che indossano i loro capi da generazioni un rapporto che va ben oltre la semplice transazione commerciale. Il cappotto Ludmilla in cachemire doppio color tabacco è davvero un pezzo iconico: il fatto che sia stato reinterpretato nel 2016 e da allora sia rientrato in ogni collezione come elemento fisso dimostra che Max Mara crede in esso non come un… Read more »
Rose, your observation about the Ludmilla coat being “significantly oversized” and your honest reflection that you should have chosen IT34 over IT36 is the single most useful piece of information in this post for anyone thinking about purchasing it. I have made the same mistake with Max Mara pieces before their most iconic styles tend to be cut generously by design and it takes experience to know how to choose the right size when the oversized fit is deliberate but still needs to be proportionate to your frame. The detail that this coat has kimono sleeves and large patch pockets… Read more »
Querida Rose, como hombre que disfruta de la moda y ayuda a su esposa a elegir sus prendas de lujo, quiero decirte que este artículo sobre el Ludmilla de Max Mara es uno de los más informativos que he leído en mucho tiempo. La historia de MYTHERESA me ha resultado particularmente interesante: no sabía que había sido fundada en 1987 como boutique física en Múnich por Susanne y Christoph Botschen antes de su lanzamiento online en 2006, ni que Neiman Marcus la adquirió en 2014 por 150 millones de euros eso explica por qué la plataforma tiene tanta solidez y… Read more »
Liebe Rose, der Gedanke, dass Max Mara über eine Geschichte von 35 verschiedenen Marken verfügt darunter Sportmax, Weekend Max Mara, Marella, Pennyblack, iBlues, MAX&Co. und natürlich Marina Rinaldi ist beeindruckend, aber gleichzeitig ist es das Schönste, dass das Herzstück Max Mara selbst seit der Gründung 1951 in Reggio Emilia durch Achille Maramotti immer das Herzstück des Unternehmens geblieben ist. Der Ludmilla-Mantel verkörpert genau das, was dieses Herzstück ausmacht: handgefertigter doppelter Kaschmir aus Italien, der durch einen Kardierungsprozess seinen charakteristischen Satinglanz erhält, kombiniert mit Kimonoärmeln und großen Pattentaschen für eine entspannte, aber raffinierte Silhouette. Ich habe selbst eine Jacke von MAX&Co.… Read more »
¡Hola Rose! Llevo años siendo fan de Max Mara pero nunca había entendido tan bien la filosofía detrás del Ludmilla hasta leer este artículo. Ese proceso de cardado que libera las impurezas del cachemira doble cosido a mano y le otorga ese brillo satinado es exactamente lo que convierte un abrigo en una obra de artesanía italiana auténtica, no simplemente en una prenda cara. Me parece también muy inteligente la información que compartes sobre las tallas el Ludmilla es significativamente oversized por diseño y tu recomendación de elegir IT34 si normalmente eres IT36 es un consejo de oro para quienes… Read more »
Dear Rose, I have been hunting for a piece that combines the casual ease of a robe coat with the genuine luxury of hand-stitched Italian cashmere and the Max Mara Ludmilla appears to be exactly that. The description of the custom binding that finishes the coat and makes it unique is such an interesting technical detail that binding is what gives the Ludmilla its distinctive edge treatment that you can instantly recognise even across a room. I own a Loro Piana baby cashmere sweater that I have been wearing for eight years and which still feels as soft as the… Read more »
Beste Rose, ik wil graag even reageren op de geschiedenis van Max Mara die je zo mooi vertelt in dit artikel. Het verhaal dat “Max” verwijst naar een lokale graaf die altijd stijlvol gekleed ging maar zelden nuchter was, en “Mara” afkomstig is van de familienaam Maramotti dat is het soort authentieke herkomstverhaal dat een merk zijn karakter geeft. Wat me ook bijzonder trof is dat Achille Maramotti tijdens zijn carrière zo uiteenlopende ontwerpers heeft aangetrokken als Karl Lagerfeld, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, Dolce & Gabbana en Narciso Rodriguez en toch altijd de identiteit van Max Mara boven die van de… Read more »
Liebe Rose, dieser Beitrag hat mich auf besondere Weise berührt, und zwar nicht nur wegen der Modegeschichte, sondern wegen Ihres persönlichen Kommentars am Anfang, wo Sie erklären, dass das Schreiben von Modegeschichten nach allem, was passiert ist, eine heilende Kraft für Sie hatte. Das zeigt eine außergewöhnliche Stärke und Selbstreflexion, die ich sehr bewundere. Was den Ludmilla-Mantel betrifft: die Kombination aus handgenähtem doppeltem Kaschmir in der Farbe Tobacco mit dem Saint Laurent Bernstein-Schmuck ist wirklich meisterhaft in Bezug auf Farbharmonie beide Töne befinden sich in der gleichen warmen, goldbraunen Farbfamilie und verstärken sich gegenseitig. Ich hätte auch nicht gedacht, dass… Read more »
Rose, your fashion post about the Ludmilla has prompted me to finally research Max Mara’s history more deeply, and I am fascinated by what I found. The fact that the Max Mara group now manages 35 brands including Marina Rinaldi a brand founded in 1980 and named after Maramotti’s own great-grandmother alongside premium lines like Sportmax and more accessible lines like MAX&Co. shows what an extraordinary range a single family has built since Achille started designing wardrobes in 1947. The technical story behind the Ludmilla is equally compelling: that double cashmere is hand-stitched in Italy and then subjected to a… Read more »
Chère Rose, la description du manteau Ludmilla de Max Mara dans ce billet est tellement précise et passionnante qu’elle m’a donné l’impression de tenir le manteau entre mes mains. Cette idée que le Ludmilla “brille comme du satin” grâce à un procédé de cardage qui libère les impuretés du double cachemire cousu main est une information technique rare que l’on ne trouve pas facilement, même sur le site officiel de Max Mara. J’apprécie aussi beaucoup la mention que ce manteau a été réinterprété en 2016 et fait partie de chaque collection depuis c’est la définition même d’un classique intemporel, contrairement… Read more »
Cara Rosa, questo articolo sul Ludmilla di Max Mara mi ha colpito per la sua profondità storica e tecnica. Non sapevo che Achille Maramotti avesse iniziato a creare collezioni già nel 1947, quattro anni prima della fondazione ufficiale di Max Mara nel 1951 a Reggio Emilia, né che avesse avuto la lungimiranza di assumere designer del calibro di Karl Lagerfeld, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac e Narciso Rodriguez pur mantenendo sempre il brand al di sopra dei singoli nomi. Il dato che Max Mara oggi gestisce un gruppo di 35 marchi, inclusa Marina Rinaldi fondata nel 1980 e dedicata alla bisnonna del… Read more »
Buenos días Rosa, quiero agradecer especialmente el detalle que incluyes sobre las tallas del abrigo Ludmilla porque es exactamente el tipo de consejo práctico que necesito antes de hacer una compra tan importante en MYTHERESA. Que el Ludmilla sea significativamente oversized por diseño y que incluso tú, habiéndote medido, hayas elegido IT36 cuando en retrospectiva IT34 habría sido mejor, me indica que debo pedir al menos una talla menos de lo que normalmente compraría. La historia de MYTHERESA también me resulta muy interesante que sea una plataforma fundada en 1987 como boutique física en Múnich que luego se expandió online… Read more »
Cara Rose, il post sul cappotto Ludmilla di Max Mara è arrivato nel momento perfetto perché stavo proprio cercando informazioni approfondite su questo capo iconico prima di considerare un acquisto. La spiegazione del processo di cardatura che rimuove le impurità dal doppio cachemire cucito a mano dandogli quello straordinario brillio simile al raso è esattamente il tipo di dettaglio tecnico che distingue un vero cappotto di lusso da un semplice cappotto costoso. Apprezzo molto anche il fatto che tu menzioni come il Ludmilla sia stato reinterpretato nel 2016 ho visto alcune versioni precedenti e quella del 2016 ha davvero perfezionato… Read more »
Chère Rose, permettez-moi de commenter en particulier sur les bijoux Saint Laurent que vous portez dans ce billet, car la maison Saint Laurent est très proche de mon cœur. La collana avec la pierre d’ambre et les boucles d’oreilles assorties représentent exactement ce que Saint Laurent fait le mieux dans sa collection bijoux cette alliance entre une esthétique française très construite et des matériaux qui évoquent une certaine sensualité organique, ici grâce à cette pierre ambrée qui capte la lumière de façon si chaude. Je trouve l’association de bijoux Saint Laurent avec un manteau Max Mara très intéressante car c’est… Read more »
Lieve Rose, ik wil dit artikel afsluiten met een opmerking over iets wat mij echt heeft geraakt: je openhartige beschrijving aan het begin van het bericht, waarin je vertelt dat het schrijven van mode-artikelen voor jou een therapeutische waarde heeft gehad na alles wat er is voorgevallen. Dat soort kwetsbaarheid en eerlijkheid in combinatie met zo’n verfijnde modestory maakt je blog echt uniek in het online modelandschap. Wat betreft de Ludmilla: de maatnota die je geeft dat je eigenlijk IT34 had moeten kiezen in plaats van IT36 omdat de jas erg ruim valt is echt goud waard voor iedereen die… Read more »
