With NY Fashion Week www.mbfashionweek.com/newyork just around the corner, fashion designer Malan Breton's Spring 2010 collection imbues a creative journey back to his roots in the ballet, exploring elements of his childhood when he began dancing at the age of seven. The inspiration for his spring collection comes from the strength and form of the image "Flight of Freedom," a black-and-white image of his friend Leigh Alderson from the Royal Ballet, shot by Dublin's Karin Pritzel . This is also the image of  Breton's invitation.


"There will be  a 45-piece orchestra playing the show, the Chelsea Symphony," reveals Breton. "I wanted the show to feel like a night at the Met, a night at the ballet." www.chelseasymphony.org

Presented by Rado Switzerland, www.rado.com the show will take place at the Metropolitan Pavilion in Manhattan and will mark Breton's first foray into menswear, further expanding the Malan Breton Collection with a touch of Saville Row. He has already dressed celebrities including Minnie Driver, Kylie Minogue, Nikki Blonsky, and Katrina Bowden and soon he will be dressing Hollywood's finest men.

"The trends for this spring are strong and structural yet soft and fluid. Romance! Boy meets girl, but really celebrating the individual."  -Malan Breton  www.malanbreton.com
