In The Club
Membership of an exclusive club, defined by the excellence of the yarns and the mastery of the workmanship, is the inspiration for Malo Cashmere’s SS24 collection.
Seaside notes and holiday horizons are rendered with timeless elegance and effortlessly chic style invoking places where the evening breezes refresh tanned skin, calling for a light stole or sweater.
Born in Portofino, Italy, in the 1970s, Malo’s light, elegant, colourful cashmere remains the blend of choice for cooler summer evenings by the coast. With notes of dusty blues and light sands, the collection’s nuances recall waves and endless skies coupled with warm browns, fresh whites, the green of Mediterranean scrub and the lilac of summer flowers.
Sweaters boast inlays, net wefts and sailor ropes creating interwoven effects and pieces in light cashmere and incredibly soft cotton are made with open and grainy weaves like beach mats. Pullovers are designed with irregular yacht stripes that recall the rippling of the waves on the horizon.
For him, the sea wolf jacket in double cashmere carries the button with the “à la marinière” theme which also enriches the deconstructed double-breasted women’s jacket. Also, for men, the pea coat in superfine suede, lined with cotton, becomes the comfortable go-to for any occasion.
A slightly oversized, light cashmere garment and cotton trousers with cuffs at the ankle to protect from the sea are ideal whilst travelling. But once you’ve reached your destination, an unstructured jacket or a cashmere-silk sweater worn around the neck complete the more formal day look. Polo shirts with vertical stripes recall the deckchairs of the iconic ‘Le Club 55’ in Saint Tropez. And there’s lots of linen, from jackets to trousers, from Bermuda shorts and garment dyed pieces, to shirts with cold dyeing for an aged effect.
For her, garments boast a holiday allure but with an everyday comfort, totally Made in Italy artisanal quality and a timeless style, with an Italian-French flavour. The collection offers a dressing gown coat in superfine double cashmere, in marine colours. A very light suede constructs a shirt-jacket and palazzo trousers. A sarong dress and large kaftans in garment-dyed habotai silk offer a super chic look. And knitwear develops as cashmere garments with a relaxed fit or a more feminine fit that follows the silhouette.
The sweaters and dresses feature side or shoulder openings, boat necklines on feminine and multifunctional fits, details that reveal the shoulders to the sun’s rays. Super feminine polo shirts, dresses and bomber jackets with contrasting cuffs have been created in cablè cotton and there’s an abundance of linen and mulberry silk too. ✤
