Following the likes of Moscow, Beijing, Tokyo and Berlin, Max Mara’s ‘Coats!’ exhibition has landed in Seoul—at Dongdaemun Design Plaza, to be exact—and it’s all about celebrating 60 amazing years of its iconic coats. Segregated into seven themed rooms, the retrospective will be dedicated to the brand’s founder Achille Maramotti’s idea to “make the ordinary extraordinary” by zooming in on how the coat (and the wearer) have evolved throughout the decades. As one of the few influencers who were invited to visit the Max Mara archives, we got the South Korean street style star to talk about her personal style, and how she plans to lend the signature coats her own touch.
