This week, Catherine Malandrino launched the world premier of her new diffusion line, Catherine-by-Catherine Malandrino, at WWDMAGIC during MAGIC Market Week in Las Vegas. The diffusion line caters to the young working professional, complete with a more cost-effective price tag.

Prior to debuting the collection, Catherine explained the collection and her inspirations in an interview with Hal Rubenstein, Editor-at-large for InStyle Magazine. The line is effortlessly chic and created specifically for the young working woman who wants to tell a story through the way she presents herself. She is feminine, powerful and will one day transition to wearing the Catherine Malandrino line. French influences are very present in the collection, which is full of refined silhouettes that accentuate a woman’s figure. The collection’s palette includes a range of tones including cool grays, bright blues, browns, tans and pops of mustard-yellow to create a sophisticated collection with a clear infusion of youth.
