Malandrino

NEW YORK, June 12, 2008
By Laird Borrelli-Persson
Shrinking violets need not apply. Resort, chez Malandrino, is sexy and citified. Inspired by Dita Von Teese's so-retro-it's-modern take on the forties, the designer focused on curvy silhouettes, showing cap-sleeved dresses with pleats and drapes to accentuate the figure. While the sorbet palette was unabashedly soft and girlish, the addition of snug leather jackets trimmed with chains—Malandrino's feminine version of tough chic—balanced the scales.
