Stella Maxwell x Marella – The Subtle Art of Modern Glamour

London in September always has a certain kind of light – soft, smoky, a little mysterious. It felt like the perfect backdrop for the unveiling of Stella Maxwell x Marella, a capsule that captures exactly that mood: sensual, self-assured, quietly magnetic.

The collaboration feels instinctive, almost inevitable. Stella Maxwell, with her effortless confidence and cosmopolitan energy, brings a pulse of modernity to Marella’s Italian refinement. Together they’ve created a wardrobe that’s both powerful and intimate – pieces that move easily between city nights and quiet mornings, between the glamour of a rooftop in Los Angeles and the elegance of an Italian atelier.

The collection revolves around one essential gesture: the blazer. Tailoring becomes a form of language here – sculpted lapels, double-breasted silhouettes, sharp shoulders softened by the sensuality of movement. My favorite piece, the body-blazer, leaves the back entirely open. It’s unexpected, a little daring, yet somehow feels natural – as if confidence itself could be worn like fabric.

Around this, the story unfolds. A bomber jacket in supple black leather or dark denim hints at a casual rebellion. A trench coat, long and weightless, moves with cinematic grace. Each garment carries quiet details – an embroidered tulle label, a star-patterned lining – small secrets meant only for the woman who wears them.

The textures are rich, yet never loud. Semi-sheer viscose georgette pants reveal soft wool sablé shorts underneath. A pencil skirt hugs the body, light as air. The palette speaks in a restrained whisper: black, layers of grey, warm greige, and the depth of burgundy. It’s sophisticated without trying, like the kind of beauty that happens when you stop trying to impress.

And then there’s the bag everyone was talking about – The Stella The Star Bag. Made in Italy from glossy, crackled leather, it has that perfect balance between structure and ease. The larger shopper feels chic without effort; the smaller version carries a hint of playfulness, something spontaneous yet polished.

The campaign, shot at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, feels like a dream caught between two cities – Los Angeles and Milan, sunlight and shadow. It’s raw, glamorous, and entirely alive, much like Stella herself.

Stella Maxwell x Marella, available from September 15th on marella.com and September 18th in selected stores, is not about dressing up – it’s about feeling something. The quiet power of being entirely yourself.
