Nancy Pelosi’s Famed Orange Coat Is By Max Mara

Following Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer’s Tuesday (December 11, 2018) West Wing meeting with Donald Trump in which the president was dunked on repeatedly and made to look like a dummy (yet again), much was made of the burnt orange coat Pelosi wore while making brief comments following the event.

Internet sleuths immediately set to find out the maker of her fetching, funnel neck coat. First it was uncovered she had worn it to Barack Obama’s 2013 presidential inauguration . It was also noted that it was likely chosen by Pelosi’s husband, who she has credited as her unofficial stylist.

Meanwhile, back in San Francisco, the city Pelosi represents, the coat literally  became larger than life when someone projected an image of Pelosi striding away from a White House up in flames (a la “CSI: Miami”) onto the Federal House.

Initially the coat was thought to be a very similar one made by Carolina Herrera, but the NY Times with its friends in high places was able to identify it as a Max Mara design. For good measure, the paper of record noted the sunglasses she wore were Armani and her pumps were Stuart Weitzman.

On the celebrated coat, Max Mara wrote on Instagram: “Max Mara is honored that U.S. House Representative @nancypelosi wore the #MaxMaraFireCoat to her historic meeting at the White House. A #MaxMara coat is a year on year companion, designed to last a lifetime. This boule shaped, funnel collar coat represents lasting values and projects both personal strength and glamour.”

According to coverage by Glamour, a Max Mara spokesperson has confirmed there’s a plan to bring back the celebrated coat sometime in 2019.

Check out all the coat hubbub below.

For fall winter 2025 KNWLS opted to forego a runwa For fall winter 2025 KNWLS opted to forego a runway show and present their collection in a styled lookbook.

Taking inspiration from a feminine Y2K aesthetic, the collection embodies designers Charlotte Knowles and Alexandre Arsenault’s ability to balance sexy and cool. 

In an interview with Vogue, the pair shared that they are currently working on a new design director role in Europe and have several other projects in the pipeline, including another denim project, a collaboration with a jewelry brand, and a menswear capsule for an e-commerce site.

Commenting on the lookbook styling, they shared, "Obviously in the lookbooks it's styled in a quite extreme way, but if you break it down into individual pieces, we've been thinking about merchandising and the customer more than ever before," said Arsenault. "We've seen the team in the studio wearing the pieces differently too, and we've taken that into account. It's a nice challenge to say: 'Okay, we want to make a sweatshirt, but it still has this silhouette or wash or rib detail that makes it feel really Knwls."
