Malan Breton's Kyoto Wonderland for Fall 2011
Photo: WireImage/ConcordiaMalan Breton doesn't hold fashion shows -- he holds events. Last season's collection featured a pas de deux in Paris. The Fall 2011 season's culmination: a Japanese wedding. Malan's events are always memorable and beautiful.
As befitting a fashion show culminating in a wedding, the styles this time seemed (for the most part) to signal seriousness and commitment. The inspiration was classical Japanese kimonos and obis, with nary a trace of contemporary Japanese design. Styling was more formal and tailored than in Malan's previous collections, though Breton stayed with luxurious silks and wools. The collection consisted of monochromatic pieces with a dramatic palette of black, white, and jewel tones. The men were dressed for work in the pre-casual-Friday era. Most of the womens' outfits were modest and appropriate for all ages.
But, Malan always throws in a few curves to keep it interesting. This time, it was the use of unusual materials on several pieces -- an alligator suit here, a red sequin trouser there, lace pajama suit (for the honeymoon?) and a skirt made of duck feathers. And, the event ended with Malan's friends ready for their wedding. The couple looked radiant: Baron wore an alligator kimono and wool suit, Irina wore a ruby silk wedding dress. The outfits might look bizarre at a wedding at a 21st Century Kyoto shrine, but were divine here in Manhattan.

Malan Breton Spring 2011 - Field Report from Nancy T
Malan Breton Spring 2011 Fashion Show from Nancy T on Vimeo.
For his Spring 2011 collection, Malan Breton returned to classic film and music. This time, the muse was "An American in Paris." The Chelsea Symphony performed Gershwin's symphony as men, women, and a poodle paraded or danced down the runway. Side Note: I was in Paris this summer. I WISH the Americans or the Parisians looked so cool, collected, and classy. When I wore a skirt there, I felt overdressed. Ah -- to live in older days, or in the movies!Malan's womenswear designs were timeless and ageless, appropriate for anyone who wants to look stylish but not fussy. The colors were simple and spring-like, with blueberry, yellow, and red mixed in with the classic black and white. Menswear was more flamboyant and daring. And typical for Malan, almost everything was made of a luxurious silk.
Two classic Hollywood-style dance performances provided smoothly transitions between menswear and womenswear sections of the runway show. The models, dancers, and orchestra maintained their carefree personas even when the fire alarm went off during part of the show.
I could say more, but the video will better convey the beautiful simplicity of Malan's creations. My apologies that the color was not rendered as brilliant as on the runway, especially for the yellow attire. Note: two of the looks (two onyx Audrey Hepburn-style dresses including the next to last runway look) are scheduled to be available at fashionstake.com on September 29, 2010.
The front row audience included actress Denise Richards. I sat just behind Project Runway alum Diana Eng, who will have some new items available this fall.
