Emilie Martensen-Königsfeld, who presented a confident third collection by Malenberger, explained via Zoom that she was forging a new path by creating a bridge between the minimalism that is Maja Dixdotter’s legacy and the decorative maximalism of the brand’s namesake motto. “This middle ground is represented by being assembled with teardrop crystal embroidery that becomes a shimmering border at the hem. These pieces capture the feeling of “quiet celebration” mentioned in the press note. Although presented in soto voce, the sexuality of the offering is undeniable. It is created using organza or woven, subtle transparencies.
Washed denim is sand-colored, and a smart elephant shorts suit is attractively accented with a knitted sash. This season’s slip dress is featured with a sweeping cape for a bit of drama, while pointe knits feature a key pattern based on an old logo. To a neutral palette, Martensen-Kevenigsfeld added touches of aubergine and mint green. The two were combined on a breezy, cozy cardigan and a mink knit set.
