Gift of Antonio and May in loving memory of Leonie Theresa Daroya Koenitz.
This Max Mara jacket was owned by Leonie Koenitz, who was one of the first fashion models trained in Singapore at Joan Booty and Ruth Warner's Mannequin Training and Charm School, which opened in 1956. Max Mara was founded in 1951 in Reggio Emilia, Italy, by Achille Maramotti. The brand is known for designing and producing quality wardrobe staples, often infusing its womenswear collections with features and detailing associated with menswear.
