MOJEH speaks to British fashion designer and stylist Lucinda Chambers about her new collaboration with Italian heritage house Weekend Max Mara. Entitled Re-Find, the capsule fuses Weekend's signature staples with Chambers’s eccentric yet elegant style, modelled here by Karen Elson.
How would you describe the Weekend Max Mara Re-Find signature collection?
The Re-Find collection is both relaxed and stylish. It is a great mix of print and texture but also includes very simple beautiful pieces that you will wear forever.
It is everything that women wear: outerwear that’s warm and easy but in beautiful cuts, the fluid dress in the mix of prints and wonderful knitwear both tiny and oversized. It also has the perfect oversized trousers and a super simple but elegant shirt which, with the brocade kilt, takes you from day to night.
It’s a real collaboration in the sense that there is nothing in this collection that I don’t want to own...I love all of it! From the very start of the collaboration I thought about what pieces I am drawn to again and again and how I can interpret those in a different way. At the same time, I was very aware of the heritage of the Weekend Max Mara brand, who the woman is that bought and loved it and what I could bring to it that could be very personal to me.
Which is your favourite piece from this collection?
Where do I start by saying what my favourite piece is.....I love the blanket cape as I can throw that over my sofa as well as wearing it over everything, but I also love the quilted coat, it’s just the right length and ....everything really.
