catherine malandrino

Launched in 1998 by the French-born designer, Catherine Malandrino's brand is built on a blend of Parisian elegance and American dynamism. The collections are recognized for their celebration of femininity and strength, communicated through signature draping, detailed craftsmanship, and an embrace of the female form. Using luxurious materials like silk and French crepe, the designs often feature romantic and sensual elements such as ruching, unique necklines, and laser-cut details. After achieving significant recognition in the contemporary market, the brand's founder departed in 2013 following its acquisition by Bluestar Alliance, a brand management company. Since then, Catherine Malandrino has transitioned into a licensing model, extending its name to a broader range of products, including accessible ready-to-wear lines, footwear, handbags, and a popular fragrance collection.
