malina

Founded in 2010 by Malin Ek Andrén, Malina emerged as a colorful counterpoint to the prevailing minimalism of Scandinavian fashion. Drawing from her Greek heritage and experience in Hong Kong's production industry, Andrén established the Stockholm-based brand to fill a gap in the market for sophisticated, feminine occasion wear. The label is recognized for its vibrant, hand-painted prints, flowing silhouettes, and artful use of materials like silk, lace, and linen. Initially focused on made-to-measure silk dresses for weddings and parties, Malina quickly became a go-to for celebratory events.\n\nToday, the brand has expanded its collections to include a complete wardrobe, offering everything from tailored workwear and swimwear to a dedicated bridal line launched in 2014. While dresses remain at its core, the collections now feature blouses, knitwear, and accessories that carry the same spirit of playful elegance. The brand, which recently rebranded from \"By Malina\" to \"Malina\" to support its international growth into the US and UK markets, balances timeless design with a distinctively joyful and expressive style. It continues to be celebrated for dressing women in life's most memorable moments, from summer parties to formal galas.
