Styling Work : VENERE AT THE PIT

 By: Unknown    02:30  No comments

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 : 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.

Now what we want to know is 

- WHO is the MAN?
