Shopping : A Spot of Male Styling




Last Friday, I made my way to KIABI to style two men in the new, 'just arrived' collection. This collection is a really interesting one and I actually had trouble selecting only two outfits. This leather jacket in the pictures above and below caught my eye the minute I walked in. The quality is great, the smell of leather intoxicating and the style brilliant ..plus it's under 50 euros..what more do you want ? Next, my eyes gravitated towards this Star Wars t-shirt ..so much fun potential, there needs to be a female version  ! A pair of grey black jeans completed the look.

Next up I chose a casual blue-denim-grey look - loving this blue grey sweater in the picture below and these chinos have a really great fit. The denim jackets are also worth a mention, again really like their quality.

Styling Work : The Elf - Ilsien in-Nisa Weekly



As some of you may know, I've been writing for the Ilisen in-Nisa Weekly for the last three months. I've also styled two fashion editorials - the first one was all about Maltese designers and this second one is all about Playful Fashion - A Dark and Brooding Elf. Both these shoots were printed in a special December issue that's still on sale in Malta at Agenda and 8TillLate (proceeds go to charity).

For those who haven't yet bought the magazine, here's the result of the photoshoot - shot by Kurt Paris. The model is the stunning Michela Buhajar (supernova.com), Makeup by Mateja Camilleri and Hair by Alexander Carabott. We shot this shoot in Viscount Toy Store Valletta.

The concept is a dark and brooding one, with an element of surrealism, a dark elf surrounded by children's toys just before Christmas. Kurt had the brilliant idea of shooting this editorial in monochrome which fitted the theme perfectly.

I styled the looks using mainly dark colours with an element of monochrome. I played around with different textures, sequins, leather finished, shiny fabric and fur. All these products are available locally and I also used pieces from two of our local designers Marco Parascandalo and Rosemarie Abela

Styling Work : VENERE AT THE PIT



Last night's edition of lifestyle and fashion, Maltese TV programme Venere featured my styling work.
The theme was inspired by the location - The Pit. The Pit is a fitness centre that focuses on HIT training using weights, kettle bells and other established training methods. The genius of the place is that for starters the actual place reminds one of a school gymnasium and makes you want to run & jump around and play games. The second great thing is the workouts they create, they're always innovative, and always taxing - it's just one hell of a good workout.
I was attending their classes in Summer (sadly my Winter working hours made it a bit impossible to continue) when I was thinking what fun it would be to organise a shoot in this place. It evolved from there, we thoguht that sticknig to a black, slightly grungry, slightly dark styling mood would work best with the look of the place.

Models wore mainly clothes by local designer Rosemarie Abela - Jade Bartolo who was dressed in a long, silk, tunic-style dress worn over a leather tank top - I chose this style so as to make best use of her height and slender frame, I also added leather gloves and leather bracelets. 

Michela Mallia wore a short sleeved jacket-style tunic over another slashed tunic over, her outfit was paired with high top sneakers. Michela has a sporty image so I felt that this look suited her, especially in the context of the theme of the shoot. 

Rachel Abela wore a leather skirt, a blazer and a waistcoat knit over everything. I chose Rachel's outfit to enhance her petite frame - the skirt shows off her thin legs and the waistcoat nips in at the waist thereby enhancing it.

My Styling Work : VENERE GOES WHITE


Tonight's edition of lifestyle and fashion, Maltese TV programme Venere featured my styling work.  

The theme we decided on was WHITE. From the colour white our planning and inspiration led to a somewhat bare feeling - in fact all the girls were barefoot. 
Models were Claire Marie Busuttil, who was dressed in a pointed collared shirt with a sweater vest and a skort underneath, her outfit could be describes as the trendiest and most fashionable. Donnha Barbara was dressed in lace, somewhat vintage-inspired outfit. Shelley De Martino's outfit is the 'barest' and 'loosest' of all and I chose it to suit her slender, tall frame.

Styling Work : Made in Malta Fashion Editorial





You may or not know that the popular TV programme Ilsien in-Nisa has recently started a new project - a weekly magazine in which I have my weekly fashion column. The sixth edition of the ilsien in-Nisa Weekly had something a bit more special - a fashion editorial - this is to be a bi-monthly occurrence and I'm the stylist.
For the first editorial, we thought of creating something a bit different - we used exclusively Maltese designer pieces and mixed the different pieces together to create different looks. As the stylist, I didn't simply visit each designer and ‘borrow’ a whole look, I combined different pieces from different designers, (from their latest collections) and combined them. To my knowledge, this is the first time such an editorial has been done in Malta.

The different designers’ collections really intersected well together, there was a lot of common ground as regards styles, colours etc. Our model was Kristen Buhajar who brought a wealth of modelling experience to the shoot. Alexander was the fantastic hair stylist and the creative Mateja was the makeup artists - both did a remarkable job. We shot at the Malta Society of Arts and the photos were taken by Kurt Paris.

My Styling Work : Forbidden Love - Editorial for Ritienne Zammit

The tale of forbidden love is an old one indeed, for centuries doomed lovers have defied boundaries, defied parents and rules to declare their love for each other. But what happens when in spite of war, in spite of family, in spite of cultural differences and traditions two destined lovers' paths cross ? Forbidden love can exist within a bubble but reality will always come knocking and the bubble always bursts....

Ritienne Zammit's latest collection is an explosion of brocade, religious references, damask and brocade rich patterns and wonderful accessories. 

Credits for this shoot are as follows: 

  • Model: Amy & Antonio @ supernovamodel.com

My Styling Work : ILSIEN IN-NISA & CHARLES&RON


For my Maltese readers, local designers Charles and Ron should need no introduction, they are without a doubt currently, Malta's hottest designers. The duo have been producing beautiful collections for many years, with their latest ones being instant sell outs. On the same vein of thought, the local television programme ILSIEN IN-NISA should also need no introduction, with very engaging beautiful hosts and a varied weekly programme, including interesting weekly guests, it's been a success story for them.

At this point, you may be wondering what Charles and Ron, ILSIEN IN-NISA & Caroline's Fashion Styling have in common - here it comes - the new winter season of ILSIEN IN-NISA is soon approaching and there have been some changes -  it seems a male presence is now coming on board - guess who ?.

A new season means a new photoshoot and I was asked to style these fabulous ladies. One of the first photos has been published and the girls are wearing none other than CHARLES&RON's latest collection.  The Charles & Ron’s Spring/Summer 2015 Collection was presented at Malta Fashion Week last May and their concept and underlying theme was our beautiful capital city Valletta (Humilissima Civitas Valletta). 



Their idea for this collection was, that they wanted the woman who wears their clothes to feel proud to wear her capital city, a city of splendor and magnificent architecture, just like they want a woman to feel when she wears their clothes. Charles and Ron was the natural choice of designer for the ILSIEN IN-NISA photoshoot. First off, these women all have close blood ties to the city, they are also lovely, lovely people who although proud of who they are and what they have achieved through this programme. They are also very humble, just like our capital city and on a side note,are very easy to work with - although they aren't 6ft tall like the models at fashion week,  they certainly pulled the outfits off.

The ILSIEN IN-NISA ladies definitely have enough character, talent & style to give the heart the collection merits. 

Now what we want to know is 

- WHO is the MAN?

For the latest issue of Style on Sunday Magazine we went boating in style (on board a 2014 Azimut -55S)! There are lots of different summer trends styled in this shoot - from long, flowing dresses to two piece suits to flattering one-piece swimsuits.

There's also a lot of beautiful jewellery (all from Vascas) showcased, notice how I layered on the different pieces, don't be scared to experiment in this manner, different layers add interest and it's summer so time to have fun. There are also a lot of hats shown in these photos - hats are the perfect fashion statement and an interesting way to stand out from the crowd and be a bit original.
