Malo, the historic Made in Italy brand, presents its own interpretation of the Spring/Summer season with a 2022 collection inspired by the impressionist “en plein air” and with a chic and comfortable style.
The timeless style and elegance of the Florentine Maison meet a vocation for “en plein air”. Where the desire to live in the open air, rediscovering a harmonious relationship with nature and with the art that surrounds us, is expressed in the use of floral stitches and embroideries and colours sprinkled with a strongly pictorial appeal, in a vast and coordinated colour palette.
S/S 2022 collection by Malo manifests the importance of connecting with nature and the environment and takes inspiration from the French artistic movements “en plein air”. A collection that expresses all the desire to live free and in harmony with the world around us, without sacrificing the class and excellence that have always distinguished the Florentine Maison.
Garments that know how to interpret a personal style in freedom of expression, creating light outfits, emphasising the distinctive personal taste, but always devoted to the elegance and suffused luxury of the Made in Malo manufacturing.
For her: Knitted garments express delicate and refined femininity. The garment-dyed make some classics contemporary such as perforated cashmere, linen and floral cotton jacquard. The fineness of 3 of the stitches in cashmere, embellished with macro floral raffia embroidery make spring days romantic. Sweaters and Bermuda shorts in double cotton and technical cotton for a sportier woman.
In the fabrics, the choice of natural fibres such as linen and floral print voile for soft and feminine dresses is accompanied by denim with new volumes. The emphasized waistline alternates with fluid shapes even in outerwear.
The colours of the collection start from the natural and neutral tones of sand combined with white to brighter and more saturated colours, from pink to intense blue.
To complete the look, accessories such as handcrafted bags and shoes. Metal-free leather and handmade weaves make them small masterpieces made as in the past.
For him: Knitwear offers delicate sensations on the skin. Light cashmere, worked on historic 33 gauge looms and cloud cashmere, convey feelings of well-being and refinement, as does the impalpable Makò cotton. Braids, thin patterns, jacquards and embossed stitches promise a summer full of preciousness.
The undeniable tradition of Made in Malo meets technological innovations in the search for eco-sustainable yarns. Recycled yarns such as tech care give life to light and breathable “techno jogging” suits, bio linen and bio cotton enhance wearable masterpieces.
The classic items of the male wardrobe are deconstructed and acquire a contemporary allure, made of fresh cotton and linen. Oversized volumes, as for Bermuda shorts, trousers in very light cotton and linen, for a more relaxed and soft result.
The garment-dyed English patterns jackets fit the desire for a free and contemporary outdoor lifestyle.
Malo, from Latin “ego malo”, means “I prefer”. A name that is aimed at those who perceiving the difference between a good cashmere and a sublime Italian-made cashmere, prefer Malo.
