What makes it so special? ‘I believe identity is the key’, says Max Mara fashion director Laura Lusuardi. ‘It’s something that is hard to find and when you do, you have to hold it tight’. With its perfect lines and proportions, it is the company’s most imitated item, made all the more covetable by famous devotees from the original poster girls, Carla Bruni and Linda Evangelista, to Carine Roitfeld, Kate Middleton and Cate Blanchett.
