Styling Work : Made in Malta Fashion Editorial

 By: Unknown    02:02  No comments

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.
