Fine Settimana – Weekend Max Mara presents its new Fall/Winter 2025–26 capsule collection, co-created with the Italian label Giuliva Heritage, founded by Gerardo Cavaliere and Margherita Cardelli, known for their impeccable tailoring and timeless Neapolitan elegance.
The name Fine Settimana (Italian for “weekend”) perfectly reflects the spirit of Weekend Max Mara – a balance of freedom and sophistication. The collection speaks to women who seek a calm escape from daily chaos and wish to reconnect with themselves through comfort, harmony, and understated elegance.
In this collection, craftsmanship takes center stage. Each piece is designed with precision and care, made for women who find beauty not in excess, but in confidence – who value simplicity, authenticity, and the kind of quiet elegance that lasts through time.
A dialogue between cultures defines the capsule. The collaboration merges the refined tailoring of Giuliva Heritage with the relaxed modernity of Weekend Max Mara, creating a subtle yet powerful harmony between contrasting worlds.
Fine Settimana blends masculine structures with delicate, feminine details: long pleated skirts, soft silk blouses tied with ribbons, wide-leg trousers, and mohair or wool dresses that naturally complement silk and cashmere textures.
Single-breasted blazers with three buttons – one intentionally left unfastened – nod to traditional Neapolitan tailoring, paying tribute to an old custom where button placement revealed the identity of the tailor behind the garment.
Quality and durability lie at the heart of the collection. Premium materials define every look – fine wools in solid, striped, or tartan patterns, alongside silk, denim, leather, corduroy, poplin, and cotton. The palette draws from nature: soft greys, sky blues, earthy browns, wine tones, and gentle purples evoke the calm rhythm of the countryside.
Finally, the details complete the story. The renewed Pasticcino bag, inspired by vintage doctor’s bags, comes in soft leather framed with plush fabrics, while tall riding boots reference equestrian style. Together, they embody the essence of Fine Settimana – a refined, effortless aesthetic that celebrates both strength and grace.
