About Malone
We're Sara and Ciana, and we believe getting dressed should feel like joy
Malone is a sustainable styling house in the heart of Christchurch, helping you discover your authentic style and build a wardrobe you'll love for years to come.
Our Story
Style that lasts longer than a season
Malone began with two stylists who couldn't stop noticing the same thing: so many people feel stuck, stressed and uninspired by their wardrobes, even when those wardrobes are full. More shopping wasn't the answer. Understanding yourself was.
So we built a way of styling that starts with you. We use colour analysis, style archetypes and the silhouettes you feel best in to create a clear picture of what works for you, then help you wear it with confidence, using what you already own and adding only what you'll truly love.
What we believe
Fashion should be joyful, personal and kind to the planet
We think clothes are one of the most fun ways to express who you are. We also think the world has enough of them. That's why we champion preloved and considered purchases, help you fall back in love with what's already in your wardrobe, and send you shopping with a plan rather than a trolley.
​
Joyful. Getting dressed should be the fun part of your day, not the stressful part. Personal. Your style is yours. We help you find it, not follow a trend. Considered. Fewer, better pieces, often preloved, always chosen with intention.
Who is Malone?
Ciana Cerri
"Playing with pattern, colour and texture has always felt like second nature to me. I grew up in a house with three creative sisters and a mum who loved thrifting and styling, so getting dressed was always a creative act.
My favourite moment is seeing the spark in someone's eye when they look in the mirror and know how amazing they look. My goal is to simplify your wardrobe, turn it into a space you love, and help you feel more confident and happy every time you get dressed."
Sara Kupa
"I've spent years in the preloved and vintage clothing world through my Instagram store, Secret Threads, known for colourful, quality and artistic pieces with real wow factor.
I love mixing vintage with modern to create timeless outfits that turn heads and feel amazing to wear. I'm passionate about colour analysis and about helping people build their confidence by wearing outfits that feel truly them. And of course, I'm always up for getting out and finding you those preloved gems."
How we work
Colour, style and shape, brought together
Every Malone experience is built on three things: your colours, using our 16-season colour analysis system; your style archetype, the personality your clothes express; and your silhouettes, the shapes that make you feel your best. Together they give you a style that's unmistakably yours, and a wardrobe that works.
