Catherine Malandrino

"I want to bring softness and refinement to the urban feminine wardrobe and to help the woman show her individuality through her unique clothes."



Catherine Malandrino was born in Grenoble, France, and got her start working in Paris for such talents as Emanuel Ungaro, Louis Feraud Haute Couture, and Et Vous. She arrived in the U.S. in 1988, taking on the role as head designer of Diane von Furstenberg, before launching her eponymous label in 1998. Her rock-inspired looks procured a strong following of celebs and stylists who appreciate her sexy signature.


"I want to design irresistible clothes that make a woman desirable, clothes that a man just wants to discreetly take off."

In 1998 Malandrino introduced a higher-end collection, Catherine Malandrino Limited Edition, an exclusive 90-piece line with an equally high price point. She now has stores in New York's' Soho and Meatpacking districts, East Hampton, and L.A. After a few seasons of playing with accessories, Malandrino is finally launching her first full shoe collection, which hit the runway for her spring show.


Blurring the boundaries between a woman's soft feminine side and her cutting edge intellect, she has blazed a formidable path. Her global clientele includes film stars, celebrities, as well as socialites and movers and shakers.


Undoubtedly Catherine Malandrino has changed the fashion landscape for the discerning young and hip. Soon after she released her own labels, the Catherine Malandrino Collection and the Catherine Malandrino Limited Edition, celebrities Angelina Jolie, Sandra Bullock, Beyonce, Nicole Ritchie, Heidi Klum, and Kristy Brinkley have all been featured in magazines wearing her designs (many of them, on covers).

We love her for carefully weaving that elusive blend of urban functionality and feminine frivolity, and like a true artist, she possesses an unwavering attention to detail. But more importantly Malandrino clothes just make a girl feel pretty, and more often than not...that's really all that matters.

DesignerLaundry Wants to Belt You

Update your wardrobe with belts that pack a punch.

The key to mastering this season's hourglass silhouette is to invest in a belt. Quicker than you can say wasp waist, they will create a curve here and a cinch there. The skill lies in choosing the one that most flatters your shape.

The best belt for your body shape: • Pear shaped: Medium to wide belts with statement buckles will draw attention away from your hips. • Rounded tummy as with the pear shaped: Wear an attention-seeking buckle to define your waist, then add an light elongating cardigan. • Short: A skinny patent belt will bring your wardrobe up to date and not outweigh your proportion. • Top heavy: A sash belt with a buckle will cinch in your waist. • Long Torso: Corset belts boost curves and regulate proportions. • No waist: Belts that are skinny or of medium width create the illusion of "catwalk" curves. And for the outfit... • Obi/cummerbunds: Wear with tailored pants; over a long fitted jacket; and a sleek wrap-dress. • Skinny belts: Wear with an hourglass dress; shirts (particularly those you don't know whether to tuck in or wear out); and a fitted jacket to create a 1940s silhouette, cardigans and sweaters. Heels heighten the femininity. • Wide belts: These look stunning when worn over a winter coat. Team with knee-high boots and a turtle neck. • Corset belts: If you have the figure, wear one with a tailored dress – particularly in jersey; and over this season's knee-length coats. • Bold buckle belts: Wear with long shirts and sweaters; and with high-waisted, wide-legged pants. • Sashes: In satin or soft leather with evening dresses, long black gloves and lots of bling.
