Events : AltaRoma : Antonella Rossi

 By: Unknown    00:27  No comments

One of my favourite shows at AltaRoma was Antonella Rossi Haute Couture - a collection inspired from Dante Alighieri 'La Divina Commedia' - designed by Giulia Mori. The imagined love of Dante for Beatrice, the sublime "... love that moves the sun and the other stars".

Love and femininity were the two main elements of this collection. In this new Spring Summer Haute Couture Collection Antonella Rossi showcased 32 pieces. The final piece was a wedding dress on the catwalk accompanied by Damiano Cioci, winner of the last edition of the National Competition 'The Most Beautiful of 'Italy', 2015.

Of the 31 pieces within the collection, 8 represented the 'Capsule Collection'- a project combining Marco Zappa's figurative art and the sophistication of the product of haute couture, made ​​entirely in Italy and designed by Giulia Mori.

The clothes were very delicate and feminine - the collection started with lots of cream with tones of pink and lilac, then teal and red and then plum, blue and black. There was lots of lace and embroidery linen, viscose, silk, georgette, organza and the use of different pleats and twists to enhance the female silhouette.

Truly beautiful expressions of art

Events : AltaRoma : Giada Curti

 By: Unknown    02:00  No comments

The opening show for AltaRoma was Giada Curti - a celebrated Italian Haute Couture designer with a strong following around the world, especially in Dubai and the Middle East, who also marked 10 years of showcasing at AltaRoma.

The show presented the 'Sophia' collection - a collection inspired by Sophia Loren's movie 'Yesterday, today, tomorrow'. It was a very fifties-inspired show with tousled, big hair and full, big skirts and gowns. I loved the silhouette of the pieces, very feminine and very 'fun'. The materials used ranged from  brocade, silks, organza, macrame' lace and taffeta. A lot of the pieces also had oversized organza flowers.

The collection is actually quite wearable, I could definitely see myself attending the Malta Fashion Awards in this dress below !!

Shopping Post : Pretty Dresses for Summer

 By: Unknown    13:41  No comments

For this week's edition of Caroline hits a shop and shows you what's in stock we've got Jennyfer and their brand spanking new pretty summer dresses. Not sure about but when the intense summer heat hits, all I want to wear is a dress ..a lightweight summer dress..forget about jeans..forget about trousers and cool fashion..at some point it's just too hot. The problem is the best dresses are usually sold out by June...before the heat hits and I never find any to buy when I desperately need them..so maybe this year, I need to plan ahead....

This post is a collaborative post between Caroline's Fashion Styling and JENNYFER Malta, ALL content represents my opinions and styling ideas.

Shopping & Trends Post : It's a Blue New Season at Oasis

 By: Unknown    03:22  No comments

For 2014 I've decided to start a series of touring different stores, snapping photos and picking out rends across the collections, these will include both stores that are regular sponsors to this blog and those that aren't but have noteworthy items in their collection. I'm going to try and make this posts at least a once weekly occasion :) For the first post I've started with Oasis.

I popped by Oasis last week to take a look at the new stock and there's some yummy, yummy stuff. One of the colours that's really making an appearance in the upcoming seasonal collections across different stores, is the colour blue...different shades of blue..from bright cobalt blues to the darker shades of teal..it seems like the blue family has coming into some fame! 

To be fair blue was in fact one of the hottest colours on the catwalk last September (SS 14 Shows) but not all trends end up  making it off the catwalk and onto the high street - this seems to be a popular one though!

Check out some photos below - lots of patterns to play around with too - stripes, floral, lace motifs...

I'm also developing a thing for the colours blue and grey paired together - oh and this skirt is adorable, so cute!

Remember that Oasis Stores are at Tower Road Sliema & Zachary Street Valletta and do check out and LIKE their Facebook
