Max Mara

Again, I just think about, like, really good quality leather, um, Italian glamour, just that timeless elegance of the Renaissance and just the art that really, ugh, like impeccable tailoring, a lot of heritage and innovation and just the art of being made in Italy.

So some of those, um, major fashion brands are ones like Prada, Gucci, Versace, Giorgio Armani, Bottega Veneta, Dolce & Gabbana, Fendi, Valentino, Max Mara, and Missoni.

And then I would probably say is a lot of people's favorites and seems like the most official one.

I, I know a lot of people, they get kind of...

And I applied through some agencies.

I really wanted to work for Max Mara, but obviously I didn't have fashion experience.

And after a couple of interviews, I was rejected.

And then a headhunter offered me opportunity, an interview with Smython of Bond Street.

Now, a few more headlines moving the trade today.

Cosmetics Business reports Shiseido has launched Le Parfum, Max Mara's debut fragrance, and the first under their long-term license.

Global Cosmetics News reports Victoria Beckham Holdings returned to operating profit for the first time after years of losses on twenty twenty-five revenue up fifteen percent to one hundred twenty-nine point eight million pounds.

The same outlet has LG Household and Health Care expanding scalp care brand Dr. Groot into four hundred twenty-four Sephora stores in the US.

And obviously, when I worked in Milan, I used to work for a fashion house and, well, a design company that did a lot of fashion stuff.

And we do a lot of work with companies like Max Mara, big brands like that.

And I remember coming in and I'd go into the little kitchen in the studio and there'd be this spotty, lanky teenager, like not particularly attractive.

And then I'd come out and we'd have the light boxes with the proof, the photographic proofs on.
