Malandrino

NEW YORK, June 11, 2010
By Romney Leader
Like many designers this season, Catherine Malandrino centered her Resort collection around sellable wardrobe essentials. Her twist? Clothes that come with built-in rock 'n' roll swagger. "I was inspired by all aspects of music," the designer said. "And specifically where that world intersects with fashion." A cropped leather jacket dripping in spikes, nails, and crystals, for example, was an ode to early Madonna. While a hooded Lurex jersey minidress à la Grace Jones and a short Tina Turner-esque number with fringe and sequin detail should have felt like too-literal interpretations, they actually meshed well with Malandrino's luxe-sexy-boho aesthetic. And for the customer who wants things spelled out even more clearly: a white T-shirt with the word soul embroidered in black leather.
