Catherine Malandrino Spring 2014: Poetry and Performance
It was the many years that Catherine Malandrino spent vacationing in Saint Tropez that began as the starting point for her spring 2014 collection, in particular Les Voiles at the start of sailing and yachting season when the harbor fills with boats. “It’s a mood of poetry, but at the same time, because it’s about the sail of Saint Tropez, there’s performance, and this is why I wanted to mix in this collection--poetry and the performance together,” explained Malandrino during the presentation.
