Launched in 1984 as a lifestyle collection, WEEKEND MaxMara offers colorful and feminine pieces with a concept of luxurious, real-to-wear clothing, encouraging diverse styling.
The design of the newly opened Ginza store is inspired by the room of an Italian girl living in Tokyo. The two-story interior artfully combines contemporary Italian design with vintage furniture, and decorative plates and lampshade objects adorn the walls.
The space blends Italian cement flooring materials like 'cimenti' and walnut wood with illustrated tiles, creating a modern ambiance with a soothing, natural color palette.
Prior to this grand opening, a party celebrating the first Japanese flagship store was held on Friday, June 6th. Celebrities such as Noriko Maeda and Rio Matsumoto graced the event, adding to its splendor. Additionally, actress Ayame Goriki attended the opening ceremony held on a separate day.
