Taking inspiration from classic American fashions from the past half-a-century, Malibu 1992’s Autumn/Winter 2018 collection is an eclectic of materials and vintage fits. Daring in denims of soft blacks, piercing blues and acid wash browns, the unisex catwalk uses the iconic cotton-twill fabric to create an assortment of looks. Creating ballgown shapes, trending puffers and smart-causal suits from the durable textile became a key part to the runway which often completed the attire with big clasp cowboy belts.
Additional to the denim came contrasting houndstooth check suits, twinkling diamanté tees and hoodies and oversized blazers of different fabrics. Brooches, embroidery and outlandish florals featuring the American Eagle embellished the collection, updating classic pieces with avant-garde approaches. Hues of mustard and decorative taping created extra depth to the show which connoted retro influences in the use of early technology printed upon pieces.
