Weekend Max Mara gives carte blanche to Arthur Arbesser
To launch its new collection, Weekend Max Mara decided to collaborate with Austrian designer Arthur Arbesser, a graduate of the prestigious Central Saint Martins school in London. The artist draws his inspiration from the Secession artistic movement of the early 20th century. The result is a spring wardrobe made up of fluid and deconstructed pieces, plain or patterned, comfortable and well cut, but above all ultra-feminine. To embody this collection, Weekend Max Mara and Arthur Arbesser called on actress and model Lily McMenamy. Trained in mime, the performer brings this project to life in a series of poetic shots that are resolutely in tune with the times.
