Catherine Malandrino unleashed a primal roar with her A/W 2010 collection, entitled “Khan”. According to the designer, who took the earth as seen from space as a springboard for her inspiration, our planet’s “constantly changing and varied landscape became an abstraction of contrasting color and texture...the woman who inhabits this world must simultaneously embody strength, ease, and raw femininity”. Jackets in goat hair, shearling, and fox fur cocooned and enveloped the body, shoes in distressed leather and suede pointed up into hooves. The pleasing tension between luxuriant draping and rugged execution embodies a perfectly complementary relationship between strength and savage.
