Kohl’s internationally inspired designer collaborations have taken its customers to Istanbul and Rio de Janiero, but its latest partnership with Catherine Malandrino is all about Paris.
“Every woman in America has a French dream in her head, especially a Parisian one,” the designer told WWD. “I feel every city has a soul. New York is all about transformation. Paris is all about timeless propositions.”
The 80-piece collaboration, part of Kohl’s relatively new Design Nation partnership program, is set to bring a few of those propositions to Kohl’s 1,100 stores in late September and early October. Everything in the offering, which will range in price from $36 to $130, takes inspiration from things spotted in Paris. A black-and-white striped cardigan was inspired by the Columns of Buren, and the design of an iron gate at the Parc Monceau became a jacquard print.
Malandrino is the third designer to create a capsule collection for Kohl’s, following Narciso Rodriguez and Derek Lam. A look at her first sketch from the collection here in the gallery.
