OUTFIT POST : AT ALTA ROMA DAY 2

 By: Unknown    01:30  No comments

Here's what I wore on Day 2 - it was still freezing and it was also raining - this was a really fun day - the morning wasn't busy with shows so I spent it walking around the shops, there was an afterparty and we ate at the Roscioli Salumeria - brilliant!

BTW check out my nails in the photo above - I think they're the star of the outfit (thanks Femme Beauty Attard for this combo) - I'm really enjoying having long pointed/ almond shaped  nails although they are so impractical - the amount of delicate scarves they keep inserting themselves into is getting out of hand, they seem to get caught in everything and if you accidentally scratch yourself - it hurts!

I'm really happy with this hat - I bought it from River Island on sale for like 4 euros and it's pure wool so kept me really warm.

Outfit Post : Alta Roma Outfit - Hearts & Fringes at Grimaldi

 By: Unknown    08:33  No comments

My trip to Rome and AltaRoma was a bit of a spur-of-the moment decision (thanks Ferramoda)  and I didn't really have time to properly plan outfits etc. Not to worry, there a lots of shops in Rome. As you must have heard me mention a few times already, when possible, I do like to wear a piece the designer has created when I attend said designer's show. For Antonio Grimaldi's show, I visited his boutique in central Rome (Via della Vite) and bought one of his tees with his signature heart logo emblazoned on the front. It has a nice fit and I think the pattern logo is lovely.

I'm also sporting a brand new Coccinelle bag, a leather skirt from Zara which I also bought from Rome and my also brand new Dolce and Gabbana shades from Solaris Malta and a vintage Chanel necklace I treated myself to also from Rome.

Events Post : AltaRoma Antonio Grimaldi Sfilata Summer 2014 Alta Moda - Review

 By: Unknown    05:53  No comments

Last Sunday at Palazzo Besso home of the fifteenth century Roman Largo di Torre Argentina in Rome, a crowd of fashionistas gathered. Palazzo Besso, besides being a fabulous palazzo with a beautiful grand staircase, it actually houses the designer Antonio Grimaldi's studio workshop, so in a sense, Grimaldi opened his own doors and invited us in to view his latest Alta Moda/ haute couture capsule creations. 

As Ferramoda Malta's stylist and representative, I was really looking forward to this show so last Sunday afternoon I made my there, braving the Roman cobbled streets with high heels and eagerly awaiting this collection.

Eight pieces were presented, each piece displays excellent craftsmanship and superb tailoring, all are simply exquisite and made of high quality materials with intricate design details. I loved the clothes, there as a mixture of highly wearable items such as sequinned silk jackets and floor length gowns adorned with Swarovski crystals. The presentation was conducted in quite an original manner, models sauntered one by one, down the staircase and guests and photographers were free to roam around up and down the stairs or wait for the models at the starting point - the atelier's studio in which the clothes themselves were hanging and could therefore be inspected up close. A mention should also be made of the amazing makeup, lace-covered eyes and the lovely hairstyles by Sergio Valente. Photos by Kurt Paris
