Judging the Judges: Catherine Malandrino Resort 2009 Collection

La Malandrino. Resort Collection. What else needs to be said? Well, Style said it:

"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."

"Citified" is a good way to describe it. The color palette may look a little subdued for, say, wearing on a cruise, but it's perfect for drinks in the city. Not a lot of variation in the silhouettes. It's short and clingy almost all the way down the line. We like every single look here. Then again, it's so basic that it would be kind of hard not to like everything. Still, understated isn't necessarily easy to do and in this collection, she certainly does it well. These are clothes that most women can either see on themselves, or would like to see on themselves. Fabuleuse.
