From Italy to Ireland: one of the biggest events on Ireland’s social calendar in 2017 is set to be an exclusive fashion show by luxury Italian design house Max Mara, as it brings its full Spring/Summer 2017 collection from the catwalks of Milan to Belfast City Hall on 10 March in support of leading learning disability charity Positive Futures.
The event is being hosted by kind permission of The Right Hon The Lord Mayor Brian Kingston who supports Positive Futures. Chief Executive of Positive Futures, Agnes Lunny OBE, remarked: “We are delighted to benefit from such a prestigious international show by one of the most exclusive names in fashion. The money raised will make a real difference to the people we support. We thank the Max Mara Belfast and Italy teams for their generosity and for allowing us to be part of what will be an exciting international event happening right here in Ireland.”
Positive Futures provides support to people with a learning disability, acquired brain injury or autistic spectrum condition, and their carers.
Tickets for the show are priced at £35 (sterling) per person or £75 for a VIP experience and are available online from www.positive-futures.net Make up for the show will be by Charlotte Tilbury with hair by international session stylist Richard Phillipart for BaByliss.
Nina Walls, owner of Max Mara’s Belfast store commented: “The fashion on show will be inspired by architect, designer and intellectual Lina Bo Bardi in a fusion of creative, radical, passion. Bo Bardi was a woman with a vision years ahead of her time who embodied Latin America’s compelling take on modernism; at once rational and sensual, sleek and luxuriant, athletic and sultry, hi-tech and artisanal.
“For modern women with big ideas, the Max Mara Spring Summer 2017 collection proposes a new blend of voluptuous modernity – intelligent, audacious, sexy fashion with a lifespan as long as Bo Bardi’s designs.”
