"  Even a downpour couldn&amp;#039;t keep Catherine Malandrino fans from piling into her Meatpacking boutique last night for the signing of her eponymous first book, Catherine Malandrino. Published by Assouline as a part of the collection &amp;quot;Memoires de Mode,&amp;quot; the tome is a celebration of Malandrino&amp;#039;s 10 years in fashion and highlights both her success and her designs throughout the past decade. So what will the next 10 years bring? &amp;quot;I hope a lot of joy and surprise,&amp;quot; says the designer. &amp;quot;I am really working on going worldwide.
