In the middle of winter, for example, Max Mara coats combine immaculate tailoring, camel tones, and cashmere blends, disguising just how relaxed and cozy they really are. Great theater is it’s own magic trick, re-animating life and transporting audiences to new worlds. A third, of course, is the simple joy of a good meal shared between friends, and our editor in chief Stellene Volandes appreciates all three. When she and Max Mara hosted a fashion week lunch, then, they decided to combine their magic powers and make the occasion a celebration of Lincoln Center Theater, and its upcoming production of Ragtime. After lively conversation and dessert, Volandes, along with Christian Notari, the CEO of Max Mara USA, helped guests choose bags, shoes, and—of course—a few coats, as fall spreads its own magic over new York.
