Catherine Malandrino Spring Summer 2014 Collection

Standard

Catherine Malandrino’s Spring Summer 2014 Collection showed a clear nautical theme. Inspired by Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez, the red, white, and blue coloring, sailboat and ocean motifs, and stripes all gave a literal representation of this.

Crisp, voluminous bottoms and triangular shaped skirts provided a more subtle nautical tone, resembling to some degree a mast of a sailboat. Whether land or sea, there are some key pieces in this collection we’d be excited to wear just about anywhere!
