| Fall Focus | At Malo, the 30-year-old knitwear ex-<br />
pert with roots in Florence, a full collection of tailored<br />
and casual clothing was recently added and attention<br />
this season falls on evening looks. Specifically, Malo<br />
re-invented the smoking jacket to re-establish a cult<br />
garment in the man’s wardrobe. Midnight blue, black<br />
and iridescent shades dominate the pieces, which fall<br />
at various lengths. The soft jackets are offset by the<br />
more linear look of trousers and shirts with pleats<br />
and knit ruches. Of course, this knit company pays<br />
extra attention to the weave of the garments, and the<br />
evening looks feature super light cashmere, mohair<br />
and wool woven into felts, shiny jacquards or striped<br />
with fur. Other details include subtle embroidery, kimono<br />
styling military style plaids.<br />
| Key Pieces | Malo fans, who own the company’s<br />
legendary cashmere sweater in all their favorite<br />
colors, will love the high-fashion style of the new<br />
evening wear.<br />
| Where to Buy | Malo’s new Milan boutique embodies<br />
the style of the company’s plans for the future.<br />
The company has 23 of its own boutiques around the<br />
world (including locations like Portofino, Cortina, Paris,<br />
Monte Carlo, Rome, New York and Aspen), and its<br />
line is also sold in exclusive departments stores. Visit<br />
