For AW19, there’s a dual emphasis on polished and practicality. Luxe fabrics are a non-negotiable: pure cashmere, long-haired wool blends and bouclé star alongside more techy textiles, like waterproof techno duchesse. This season Max&Co.’s Il Mio Cappotto capsule also draws inspiration from the natural world, not only in the rich palette, but in the fluidity of nature, which is represented in the coats’ double-duty versatility; many of the designs literally morph into different styles like butterflies.
MAX&CO.’S IL MIO CAPPOTTO CELEBRATES A DECADE OF STYLE
The AW19 Il Mio Cappotto line-up has seven different styles, each taking their names and inspiration from exotic butterflies:
The Ermine
A true forever piece, everyone needs the Ermine in their closet. Bringing together masculine inspiration with feminine proportions, the Ermine is from super-luxe double weave, pure cashmere. The pared-back, tailored silhouette and three asymmetrical flap pockets echo the sartorial detailing on traditionally tailored coats.

The Nymph
Comprising two reversible coats – each one made of one side in bouclé and the other in waterproof techno-duchesse – to be worn layered or separately with or without the belt, the Nymph is an excellent multi-tasker. The simple silhouette invites you to find your own perfect combination. Like many styles in one.

The Theodora
This fuzzy coat is playful and cozy. Crafted from a blend of wool, mohair and alpaca, the texture blurs the maxi-check pattern. The long-line piece has deep pockets and a high turn-up collar. There’s also a subtle sporty spin courtesy of the elastic drawstring detail.

The Rosy
Say hello to your perfect pea coat. The checked Rosy has a versatile buttoning system, enabling you to switch it up however you want. Fasten the belt on the front, back or side, for an asymmetric design.

The Luna
Think of the Luna as the easy way to bring a little bit of drama to everyday. The fluid, elegant silhouette has a flared bottom. The style also added an asymmetrical slit for added movement. Bold, saturated colors bring the Luna to life.

The Julia
You get endless styling possibilities with the Julia. Comprising a reversible coat – one side in bouclé and the other in waterproof techno duchesse – as well as a coordinating parka, the two layers can be worn together, or individually. The hood is detachable and is good for either piece. Available in black and orange.

The Isabella
This sturdy overcoat is ready to take on anything. The shape of a butterfly inspired the Sleek and pared-back, the Isabella’s graphic silhouette. Featuring a waist belt that transforms into a martingale, its yarn-dye chevron gives this design a uniquely rich 3D effect composed of camel and yellow tones.
