The MaxMara anniversary exhibition, “Coats! MaxMara, 60 Years of Italian Fashion,” makes its final stop tonight at the State Historical Museum on Red Square in Russia. From bitingly cold winters to literature like Gogol’s The Overcoat, Russia seems to be the most appropriate destination for an exhibit that commemorates the coat in its finale. The show will feature 70 rare coats — primarily from the MaxMara and Sportmax lines — which will be on display in the coat evolution exhibit, along with original designer sketches and photographs. A highlight for the exhibition will be a piece created by Valery Katsuba that features MaxMara coats on dancers from the Bolshoi Ballet. If there were ever a time for the celebration of the iconic MaxMara coat, these days of transitioning to the cold season couldn’t be a better choice.
