Saline notes and holiday horizons are the key ingredients for the inspiration of the Malo Cashmere SS24 collection. An exclusive club by the sea, where the excellence of the yarns and the mastery of the workmanship blend harmoniously and naturally with a timeless elegance and an effortless chic style.

Images that evoke refinement and the idea of exclusivity.&nbsp;Magical places where the evening breeze refreshes the tanned skin of the ladies and requires a light and at the same time warm stole for shelter. A bit like in Portofino, where Malo was born in the 70&rsquo;s, from an intuition: to create warm but light garments, suitable for the cool summer breezes. And so wool and cashmere, mostly of Scottish origin, used to make sweaters that were usually very heavy and in a few standard colors, give way to a cashmere spun in a light fineness, offered in many fashionable colors and with an Italian style.
Clubs that also live in the C&ocirc;te d'Azur to unfold on charismatic shores like Saint-Tropez&nbsp;with notes of dusty, fresh blues and light sands. Thus, summer and the sea are expressed in this collection in which the marine style is combined with a contemporary style to be worn everywhere and every day, bringing with it the comfort and the allure of Malo. The blue color is a creative motif that narrates the collection, which plays with colors and nuances that recall sea waves and horizons that blend into the clearest skies. But also, natural colors such as sand, warm brown and fresh whites for refined total looks. And again, the green of the Mediterranean scrub and the lilac of summer flowers.
Inlays that are inserted into the sweaters, where net wefts and sailor ropes create pleasant interweaving effects. Sweaters in light cashmere and very soft cotton are made with open and grainy weaves like beach mats, while the pullovers are designed with irregular yacht stripes that recall the rippling of the waves on the horizon.&nbsp;Malo's mastery is expressed in a ready-to-wear proposal that is always attentive to an international clientele who loves beauty and well-made, who knows how to recognize the quality of details, yarns and Made in Italy workmanship.

For him, the sea wolf jacket in double cashmere carries the button with the &ldquo;&agrave; la marini&egrave;re&rdquo; theme which also enriches the deconstructed double-breasted women's jacket. Also, for men, the pea coat in superfine suede, lined with cotton, becomes the comfortable garment to wear on any occasion, even when travelling, on a boat or in a car. A &ldquo;sea wolf&rdquo; who wears clothes with ease. On the very soft cotton worn on the skin, a slightly oversized light cashmere garment and cotton trousers with cuffs at the ankle to protect it from the waves of the sea. But once you've reached your destination, an unstructured jacket or a cashmere-silk sweater worn around the neck complete the more formal day look. Comfort and elegant style come together in Malo proposals, where handcrafted and well-made garments do not give up functionality. The three-dimensional rice stitch of the pea coats and polo shirts takes up the textures of the mats, plays of micro and macro stitches give continuity to the style, recalling marine nets, while the navy stripes decorate men's sweaters to be worn with a contemporary spirit. Polo shirts with vertical stripes recall the deckchairs of the iconic "Le Club 55" in Saint Tropez. Lots of linen, from jackets to trousers, from Bermuda shorts, garment dyed, to shirts with cold dyeing with an &ldquo;old&rdquo; effect. Hand-dye batik returns in cotton jersey, which recalls the waves of the sea, made by hand, tying the garments one by one and immersing them in color through a long and careful manufacturing process. Malo's heritage recovers the ball stitch which recalls the ripple of water moved by the wind and creates polo shirts and shirts in cotton and cashmere, comfortable and at the same time refined. Organic cotton with cabl&egrave; twist which makes the yarn round and with a clean and linear appearance to be worn on tanned skin together with the more fluid and light linens. &ldquo;Oxygen&rdquo; jersey sweaters with a soft and light touch and garment-dyed pure linen jersey that gives a fresh and impalpable effect.

For her, garments with a holiday allure but with an everyday comfort. The beauty of the looks is always calibrated between a totally Made in Italy artisanal quality and a timeless style, in which the Italian French flavor allure reinforces the charm. The ready-to-wear offers a dressing gown coat in superfine double cashmere, in marine colors, to be worn barefoot on the deserted beach at the first light of dawn. A very light suede is the proposal of the shirt-jacket and palazzo trousers to be worn even on a bicycle with ease. Sarong dress and large kaftans in garment-dyed habotai silk in dusty colors with a super chic look. The knitwear proposal develops between cashmere garments with a relaxed fit up to the more feminine fit that follows the silhouette. Uneven stripes like sea waves fall on the compact knitted cardigan, an excellent ally for cooler evenings. These irregular lines, duly studied and calibrated, arise from infinite tests and studies to achieve the result. The colors in the summer proposal become more intense. Brown to wear on tanned skin combined with lilac, all crossed by tons of white, sand and infinite shades of blue. The craftsmanship of Malo products is manifested in all the details, such as the buttons, made even richer thanks to the manual work of covering, one by one, in tone-on-tone shaved cotton. The coat with shawl collar in double workmanship, an iconic garment of the brand, representative of the high craftsmanship and the modeling technique. The sweaters and dresses feature side or shoulder openings, boat necklines on feminine and multifunctional fits, details that reveal the shoulders to the sun's rays. Super feminine polo shirts, dresses and bomber jackets with contrasting cuffs have been created in cabl&egrave; cotton, which gives a clean and rounded effect. Here too, the buttons have been covered in knit with a contrasting color stitching that recalls the details of the wrists, the collars are enriched with a handmade shrimp stitch. Lots of linen for women too: from Bermuda shorts to palazzo trousers, from the sarong skirt to the dress and shirt dress. Simple and clean shaved garments with linear fits to be worn nonchalantly, in colors ranging from intense marine green to dark teal. Mulberry silk finds an important development in stockinette stitches which create plays of transparencies and overlaps worked on 18 gauge, soft and impalpable garments as is the characteristic of this silk. Plays of sinuous transparencies, dresses, skirts and sweaters with a soft and flowing effect, always in the name of refined elegance.

The accessories&nbsp;follow the theme of the collection and are enriched with handmade workmanship. The raffia shopping bag is created entirely by hand in crochet. Handmade weaves in the cotton macram&eacute; knot of the clutch bag with hand threading of cotton ribbon to wear on summer dresses for a cocktail on the beach or in the city. Then the iconic &ldquo;Velvet&rdquo; bag by Malo returns in soft leather with a restyling aimed at improving its functionality for a very versatile everyday object. The handles recall Malo&rsquo;s iconic heritage weave in two-tone made entirely by hand. And raffia hats with large and extra-large brims with leather straps.
