Vittoria Ceretti opened Max Mara\u2019s Spring\/Summer 2025<\/a> show in Milano on September 19 in an impeccably tailored copper column skirt and open blazer. Her crisp white poplin shirt\u2019s cuffs were flipped back atop the blazer at acute angles as sharp as a set square in a trigonometry class.<\/p>\n

The Italian house\u2019s muse this season was 4th<\/sup> century mathematician, philosopher, astronomer and greatly loved teacher, Hypatia of Alexandria in Egypt. Much of Hypatia\u2019s work was developed from Pythagoras and those equations, expressed as diagrammatic triangles, are used today by dressmakers and have informed Max Mara<\/a>\u2019s SS25 collection: Coats and trenches display precise external stitching, workings-out that are usually hidden out of sight. Asymmetric pleating\u2014ironed in\u2014decorate the collar and shoulder of the humble poplin. Mathematically plotted coulisses and darts ensure the construction of skirts fall at the right angles. Yes, while most luxury fashion collections are predicated on precision and articulation, very few celebrate it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe tend not to talk about the technical aspects of fashion, but in modelling itself there is calculation, precision, geometry. I wanted to adopt a creative approach to the construction of the model,\u201d Max Mara’s creative director Ian Griffiths said<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ceretti<\/a> returned to the runway to close the show, this time in a white halter gown with a plunging neckline. Its asymmetric skirt, with an opening at its centre, resembled a Pythagoras-sliced triangle. While clear-cut, Hypatia\u2014one of the first female mathematicians in recorded history who also loved astrology\u2014knew even maths required a little magic to penetrate the minds of the subjects she taught.<\/p>\n

\u201cMagic? Isn\u2019t that at odds with the collection\u2019s scientific premise?\u201d Max Mara\u2019s show notes read. \u201c[Late American author] Kurt Vonnegut answered that when he wrote, \u2018Science is magic that works.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
