Last Stop for the MaxMara Celebration

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.

CHAOS loves Max!

We sure do! Max Sokolov, 25 is a nimble thing hailing from the icy streets of Russia. A former dancer by day and model by night, this 6'1 statuesqe red version of David is sure turning heads and grabbing this bloggers attention at a high frequency. You can see him dancing his way through the pages of nearly every gentleman's fashion magazine poised in barely there garbs from Hugo Boss, Paul Smith and a very effeminate cape sponsored by Yves Saint Laurent. With the ample amounts of exposed tush and some nondescript bush, who cares who he's wearing? Chaos-Mag.com gives this Soviet a firm salute!
