It was a personal and emotional collection for the designer, whose grandmother, and one of his biggest influences, Nellie, recently passed away. Malone said his spring pieces were a homage to their discussions around the working class and a symbol of working through his grief.

There were many nicely structured pieces that showed off Malone’s tailoring skills, such as a structured purple blazer that started off the show. However, the collection felt chaotic, as he transitioned from space-age looks to business casual by way of unflattering double-waisted trousers.
Colors also varied from strong reds and purples to mint greens and sky blues. There were patterned bodysuits, too. The collection picked up — in volume and interest — as Malone debuted a finale of gathered dresses made from recycled dance wear.
