So the latest and greatest in the moving and shaking world of fashion is an announcement of new partnership between Catherine Malandrino, Elie Tahari and Arthur Levine. No exact details of the partnership have been released but this will definitely spell some relief for the rumours surrounding Malandrino.
After we were all told there would be no SS12 show for Catherine Malandrino the gossip started and wild reports of the brand closing up shop began making the rounds. Nothing unusual there as competitors love to spread untruths! Anyone that knows the brand knows that the world would be a very different place without this gem of a designer! And you’d also know that Catherine Malandrino would go no where without putting up quite the fight first!
So it’s with great pleasure that we hear the news of this great partnership! Elie Tahari is an FFG favourite and we imagine that the partnership will result in a most fruitful future for all parties involved!
