2011 Fall New York Fashion Week: Malandrino

Noria Morales — Mon, 14 Feb 2011 09:43:05 PST

The '70s live on for Fall in Catherine Malandrino's world. The French designer who calls New York home stayed true to her sexy, bohemian roots while playing to both Parisian and New York sensibilities with a variety of silhouettes. Floor-skimming dresses were styled with wide-brim hats and nerdy chic glasses, and there was a plethora of furs - some oversized and grand, others cropped and fitted. There seemed to be something for every chic girl - cropped trousers, pleated skirts, tiny shorts, even a jumpsuit - all very nice partners to a super sexy fur. Take a look at more from the presentation on FabSugarTV.

Trends: '70s boho, houndstooth, fur, wide-leg trousers, pleats.
Colors: Green, purple, red, black.
Key Looks: Draped front halter dresses with the fabulous belts, done in purple and in green.
Accessories: Wide-brimmed hats, nerdy glasses.
Who Would Wear It: Bold, boho-loving girls who eat croissants and drink champagne with abandon.

2011 Spring New York Fashion Week: Catherine Malandrino

FabSugar — Sun, 12 Sep 2010 15:59:38 PDT

Set at the Grand Promenade at Lincoln Center, Catherine Malandrino's presentation was a fresh breath of Vallauris air. We're off to the South of France, ladies! The models stood atop platforms lined on either side of the reflection pool in a gorgeous assortment of crochet knits, silk macramé, chiffon and jersey prints, and woven leather. It was a perfect mélange of essential European vacation pieces and the signature edgy Malandrino French girl.

Black wide-leg trousers were paired with a black leather cropped and distressed jacket, embellished with dual zippers. To be fair to color enthusiasts, the palette wasn't all noir - two of the most memorable outfits were a raspberry, floral floor-length gown with a Grecian goddess neckline and a soft cream, viscose wrap dress. Go light for day and dark for night. Of course, no South of France getaway is complete without a straw hat, macramé tunic to layer over a bikini, and a jaw-dropping talisman pendant! C'est chic - bon voyage!

Trend Alert: Pleats That Play the Accordion

FabSugar — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 08:00:05 PDT

If you've ever wanted to experiment with pretty pleats, now's the time. Accordion pleats are cropping up in unexpected places. They're a classic take on texture, but don't think these pleats signal school girl. They're playful and fresh in other fabrics, like chiffon, à la Jessica Alba in Marc Jacobs, or even a little naughty in leather. Whether you select them as a part of the whole look, or just to experiment with the details, they're modern and femme, and insanely flirtatious.
