As in previous seasons, Maladrino offered several shades of green in her collection. What was olive in her spring line became artichoke for the autumn.
Evening dresses, cashmere pullovers and single-buttoned flannel jackets were in petrol gray, while olive green pencil skirts were cut beneath the knee and set off by pearl gray pullovers with Malandrino's signature sleeves.
The collection also featured smocks and embroidered crochet work in black over bronze green and set off with a touch of emerald, and biker jackets in supple leather stitched with maple leaf highlights.
"Well beyond New York and Paris, women these days have a sense of taste that is becoming more global, while still keeping its sense of the specific," Malandrino told AFP after her show on Monday.
