The Capsule
MALO X GEORGE CORTINA
George Cortina said: “Exploring Malo’s unparalleled archive of savoir -faire in knitwear has been a revelation. Going back to the house’s foundation in 1972, it is a trove of technical creativity from a more beautiful and expressive age. The longer I immersed myself in it, the more I was reminded of cinema’s leading men from that time: their distinction, their wit and the effortless character with which they wore clothes. Shaping this collection has been a process of blending that spirit of sprezzatura with Malo’s signature archival techniques, then applying a cinematic filter to set the resulting garments firmly in the present. I couldn’t be happier with the result.”
The collection comprises sweaters, cardigans, polos, bombers and a knitted tailored jacket.
Archival knit techniques are reworked through contemporary fit, color and proportion, creating cashmere pieces that combine the discipline of tailoring with an expressive ease.
The capsule applies Cortina’s eye for character, fit and image to Malo’s archive of cashmere knitwear.
Drawing on Malo’s cashmere heritage and Cortina’s cinematic sensibility,
the capsule brings a fresh perspective to Italian knitwear,
where refined craftsmanship meets a more expressive, individual attitude.
