Malan Breton Fall 2015, continued

Choreography is such a great aspect and integral part of Malan's shows. He knows how to create an energy that ignites investment from the viewer opening the opportunity to enjoy whole heartedly. There really isn't a bad seat in the house. The pops of color were unexpected and delightful. The genre changes and thematic elements were exciting and prove Malan Breton understands the evolution of life and fashion.

The show began with a pink-suited man wearing a helmet and a signature Malan Breton scarf. The lights were dim and it was made to look like he was "rising, and looking to the beginning of light and love" Malan said, when I asked him what that meant he said that the show is based on honoring the old but remembering the new, "it's about what's next and translating that through the clothing."

Malan's talent for menswear is really quite unique. He has a tactful and stylish way of reinventing the suit a hundred different ways, and let's be honest it is very hard to recreate and create interest in what is most of the time a pretty standard style. By creating garments that honor a range of options, the Menswear in particular really stuck out as being spectacular. The suits were extravagant and every man  in the room could have found something perfect.

Shoe designer Caterina Belluardo (in picture) has created and showcased today some of the coolest shoes I've ever seen. 

At the end of the runway show one of the most notable photographers opened a bottle of Moet Rose, in honor of the event, They toasted to the room. It was a beautiful moment the whole crowd got to enjoy together. After the show, I told him "Congratulations-this is huge. Enjoy every second." and his response: "I'm trying not to cry."

Talking to Malan Breton is a dream, his voice is so calming and melodic. He is such a kind person and you can see it when you speak to him. Cheers to an exceptional body of work and an absolutely memorable show. Wishing you all the success in the world Malan Breton - BPR loves you!
