It’s 11.45 am on day two of Milan fashion week and British actor Gemma Chan is perched on a grey velvet couch inside the city’s Park Hyatt hotel, her all-white Max Mara palazzo-pants-and-silk-shirt outfit looking like something her old-moneyed Singaporean Crazy Rich Asians character, Astrid Leong-Teo, would give the tick of approval. Chan has just arrived from the nearby Palazzo del Senato, where she sat front row at Max Mara’s A/W 2020 show, a privilege that comes with having just been announced as the 15th recipient of the Women In Film Max Mara Face of the Future Award. “This is actually my first Milan fashion week,” she admits. “I loved this collection. There were great twists on iconic classics — anything that had a hood, I loved. It comes from living in London. You want to feel cosy and protected.”
