Here are some of my favorite looks from Catherine Malandrino latest collection. Loving the structured pieces.
The eighties are a decade that simply will not die. It is a decade filled with major fashion triumphs and missteps and as such a memorable point in the history of style. The last few years we have all lain witness to the resurgence of many 80’s looks and styles. These iconic images have reached well beyond those who lived it and is now in the heart and minds of a new generation that embraces the quirky individualism the decade provided. This season in homage Catherine Malandrino presented a collection reminiscent of the fun old days in fashion. For Spring 2013 Malandrino takes on the decade head on, putting right all that was wrong www.cheapambienpriceonline.com taking key shapes and elements from the era and evolving them into something modern and totally wearable.
Catherine Malandrino’s Fall 2011 collection captures the essence of the city of love and the city that never sleeps. To top off this endless collection of passion and sophistication is to accompany it by The Paris | New York tote bag. We first got a look at these fab totes during the Malandrino Fall 2011 presentation, which you can view here.

Malandrino‘s Spring 2011 collection is all about fluidity and movement. There is a soft flowing feel to each ensemble as well as a coolness and depth not unlike the works of ceramist Roger Capron who provided the inspiration for the spring collection. Forgoing the usual 3 ring circus that is the fashion week tents Malandrino showed her collection outside at the lake on Lincoln Center.
Models were perched atop cylindrical columns, allowing attendees access to the detail-driven creations. Draped in Malandrino from head to toe it was an exquisite presentation, full of noteworthy pieces. One of my favorite ensembles was this ivory leather studded bolero with wide leg trousers.
The bolero’s intricate details add a sophistication and depth to this look.
We also loved the ivory jersey poncho, worn over a crochet bathing suit. Worn with a straw hat and high weaved sandal it went above and beyond the basic suit and cover up
The detail on these sandals is amazing.
Another favorite is this print chiffon long dress. The color is fresh and bright, and the shoulder detail and unexpected cool touch. The talisman pendant was an especially nice addition to this ensemble.
Subtle and sophisticated with a softness and femininity that is unmistakable, Malandrino knows what women want to wear and more importantly how important it is to feel good in your clothes. The tactile fabrics and indicate drape/details make this a collection to remember.
