Max Mara and Escada - What a great pair

I love my designer pieces.  Here is a Max Mara black blouse and a Escada polka dot skirt.  Both purchase at thirft stores.  Max Mara $15.00 Escada skirt $10.00.  Chic and very comfortable.  I don't have a 9 to 5, but if I did, I would look sooooo amazeballs in this.  I would look like the CEO of the company.  Great prices and a chic look.  The Max Mara top has this great ruffle design from the collar to the waist.  Buttons are high quality.  Max Mara is a very exclusive clothing line the caters to the rich and famous.  Finding finds like this is one of a kind and the secret to great prices like this is, sometimes the people who price at the thrift stores don't know all the designers out there.  Take advantage of this.  Know your designer wear.

Note *  Achille Maramotti began designing couture clothing in 1947, and officially established the House of Max Mara in 1951.  The "Mara" cam from his surname, while "Max" referred to Count Max, a local character who was seldom sober but always stylish.  Maramotti was one of the first to see that the future of fashion lay in the mass production of designer quality clothes.  He was also keen to emphasise the brand of Max Mara ahead of the names of individual designers, even thought he employed future big names such as Karl Lagerfeld, Jean Charles de Castelbajac, Dolce & Gabbana and Narciso Rodriguez.  The company remains in the hands of the family and they like to maintain a veil of secrecy about the activities of the company.
