The Capsule Wardrobe We Want Now

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH MARELLA

For those in the know, Marella has always been a byword for glamorous, contemporary fashion for all occasions, with a strong made-in-Italy aesthetic. Part of the Max Mara Fashion Group, the brand appeals to savvy shoppers who appreciate intelligent design, femininity and good taste. Its central message #inwomenwetrust is embodied in its brand ambassador, the multi-talented supermodel, author, podcaster and actress, Emily Ratajkowski. 

Emily stars in the AW ’24 campaign designed for busy women on the move; offering timeless pieces, from informal office wear to unpretentious occasion wear. A hero piece is the multi-tasting blazer, which can be paired with classic lace or crepe de chine tops and knitwear, or worn as part of a suit. The colour palette for the collection strikes a balance between delicate, neutral tones and bright greens. 

Within the collection, other must-have pieces include the Marella denim edit in a variety of fits, from tomboy to wide-leg. Worn with a man’s shirt, or a structured bustier with a sweetheart neckline, the overriding attitude is carefree and covetable. 

A staple for winter is a good coat. At Marella, shoppers will find a versatile mix of lengths and weights, from bomber jackets to full-length trench coats. The winter coat par excellence is a long version in pure white wool, which works as well with jeans as it does with dressier pieces. 

For those wishing to build a timeless capsule wardrobe, Marella Monochrome collection offers a gorgeous edit of minimalist, quietly luxurious pieces in four statement colours – brown, greige, white and blue – which blends old money allure and sensuality. 

Look out for some new silhouettes such as the shorts and a sleeveless waistcoat, and sophisticated knitwear in wool, cashmere and viscose, such as the wrap-around dress and the belted long coat.

The knitwear selection is also refined and comfortable, from oversized or wrap-around fits embellished with sequins, fringes and lurex.
