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

 By: Unknown    07:38  No comments

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?

Simshar : The Day is Here - Let's have a little PEEK

 By: Unknown    01:52  No comments

The downside to living in Malta is that of course there isn't as much opportunity to get really dressed up as say someone who lives in a metropolitan city...and for people like me, who love experimental fashion that can be a bit of a downer..but then something comes along like the first ever fully fledged red carpet movie premiere and my excitement is set to an all time high, bouncing off the walls kind of thing. 

This event is going to be a mega interesting one...there's going to be more than one host for starters - first off we've got all the girls from Ilsien in-Nisa hosting and filming the red carpet - so make sure you tune in to their program next Thursday to watch it from their perspective and for all red carpet walkers make sure you stop by and speak to them!

Then on the other side of the fence we've got Peter Carbonaro also hosting at the other end of the carpet AND we've got yours truly (yes ME I'm on the red carpet too), asking questions, style blogging and scouting the best looks and just general talking to you all and we've got Kurt Paris photographing you away - so again red carpet walkers come near us too!

Now because let's face it I've already watched the movie, I know it's brilliant and now I care about the clothes most of all, let's see what tidbits of fashion info have reached me through the grapevine:
First off, the fashion-related sponsors of tonight are 123, Sef Farrugia, Charles & Ron, Elixir, Pierre Camille, Gaba, PHSBA Malta - importers of Guinot, Mary Cohr, Guam, Tommy Hilfiger.

Now for some sneak peaks:

Clare Agius, the main actress is wearing Charles&Ron - sneak peek in photo below.

Pauline Agius from ilsien in-nisa is also wearing Charles &Ron - sneak peek in photo below.

Rebecca Cremona the director brainbox behind this movie is wearing Sef Farrugia and Angelique Muller, the associate producer is wearing an outfit from 1..2..3. 

Then we've got the Tommy Boys - Mark and Sander, the main actors are going to be wearing Tommy Hilfiger as is Gianluca Bezzina and Justin Haber and Ryan Gatt (who is handling all press for this event - he is wearing a v cool outfit that I styled myself :))

Left-to-right Ryan and Mark.

And what am I wearing ? I'm not saying but I will leave you a sneak peek of my hair which was done yesterday by the genius Svetlana de Bono at Toni&Guy Hilton.
