Bulky looking. Some pretty touches, but nothing seems as feminine, pretty and flowing as the other designers are showing for Spring.
Catherine Malandrino Spring 2006 Ready-to-Wear Collection on Style.com: Runway Review:
“Her two primary influences, Amish craftsmanship and West African colors, were combined with varying degrees of success. Dresses won out as the strongest pieces, providing a great opportunity to show off both the handiwork, like lace
and quilting, and textural fabrics.Overall, it was a departure for a designer who is known for petal-pretty, flowing pieces. While the clothes were well made, the effect could be precious and artsy-craftsy, and maybe not as grounded as the designer intended. “
