While everyone is moving their attention towards the incoming Pre-Fall 2019 collections, I’m still caught up on Spring/Summer 2019. There were so many amazing collections, and many of the smaller ones did not receive the recognition they deserve. One of my favorite small collections from the season was Malamute Spring/Summer 2019 which brought us a cultivated collection of fun, preppy looks mixed with impeccable knits all inspired by Christopher Nolan’s movie Memento which explored the thread of memory and repetition.
Although this was Mari Odaka’s ninth collection with Malamute, this collection was the runway debut of her stunning knits and gorgeously-tailored dresses that perfectly suit the female form. The looks that shone the most, in my opinion, were the retro-looking linen dresses with fringe across the bodice- they had such a charming, western vibe that was hard not to admire.
Other standouts included two fitted knit dresses and plenty of distressed denim outfits to inspire my off-duty wardrobe. And the red details sprinkled throughout the looks really served to bring everything together into one refreshing collection of western-inspired looks to lust after. I’m definitely looking forward to seeing more from Odaka’s Malamute in the years to come!
