Markarian X Malbon Launch Capsule Collection
Markarian X Malbon celebrated the launch of their first-ever capsule collaboration with an intimate evening of sport and style in New York City on July 28. The event brought together tastemakers, creatives, and fashion insiders for a padel activation followed by a cocktail reception highlighting the brands’ shared vision of elevated American sportswear.
The celebration began at The Reserve UES, where guests were among the first to wear pieces from the newly launched collection while participating in friendly padel matches. The festivities then continued at The Surrey, where attendees gathered for cocktails by LALO Tequila in an elegant setting that reflected the capsule’s effortless sophistication.
Hosted by Markarian founder and creative director Alexandra O’Neill and Malbon co-founder Erica Malbon, the evening welcomed guests including Tatiana Hambro, Nimay Ndolo, Olivia Duncan, Mélisse Martineau, Madeline Hill, Charlotte Wilder, Tanner Richie, Fletcher Kasell, Gigi Burris, Timo Weiland, Nicole Mann, Frankie Carratini, Kelly Anne McCarthy, Stephanie Covington, Merill Hollander, Madison Childs, Lara Devgan, Lawson Park, Hattie Doolittle, Sheridan Cox, Stephanie Nass, Julia Hardee, Serena Legree, and more.
The exclusive Markarian x Malbon capsule draws inspiration from the timeless charm of East Coast summers, blending the traditions of golf and tennis with Markarian’s signature romantic aesthetic. Centered around the tiger lily, the collection reimagines classic Malbon silhouettes with elevated details including crochet-trimmed polos, softly pleated dresses, and a cream bomber jacket embroidered with vibrant floral blooms.
A soft palette of butter yellow, sage green, and cream is accented by bold red tiger lilies, evoking coastal gardens, leisurely afternoons on the course, and weekends by the sea. The collection is rounded out with exclusive golf headcovers, extending the collaboration’s attention to craftsmanship and thoughtful design beyond apparel.
Designed for both the course and the court, the capsule seamlessly combines classic American sportswear with Markarian’s feminine approach to color, texture, and craftsmanship, creating a collection that feels equally refined and playful.
