Simshar : My Top MALE Looks at the Red Carpet Premiere

 By: Unknown    00:11  No comments

This week has been red carpet frenzy over here with lots of time spent pouring over pictures, discussing outfits with various people and just talking about the clothes in general. The last red carpet post for the week is to list my favourite male looks from the night - again please do remember that this is just MY OPINION.

First up we have Carlton Agius (vip), Charles&Ron's assistant who looked great in his Dolce and Gabbana shirt, black suit, Prada shoes, and Charles&Ron bag

I can't recall this guy's name (simshar audience) so leave me a comment if you know him - Topman jacket, Springfield shirt, Zara trousers, new look shoes ..loved the mix of colours, patterns/beard ...cool look

Ernest Camilleri (vip) - the man responsible for all the Simshar costumes - loved his patterned shirt

Neil Falzon, the human rights lawyer and Roderick (simshar audience) ...they were my absolute favourite of the night ....patterns, textures, bow-ties, colours...everything about their outfits rocked.

Journalist Iggy Fenech (simshar audience) - Sef Farrugia bow tie, velvet blazer, gold brooch---super 

Peter Carbonaro (vip) -the host for the night .. in a Hugo Boss suit and Aldo shoes and a brilliant tie pin that's apparently one of his signature looks.

Designers Charles and Ron (vip) - I loved Charles' textured suit and Ron looked great in his blazer and bow-tie.

I can't recall this guy's name (simshar audience) so leave me a comment if you know him - ZARA. NOTE * Mystery man identified - Malcolm Sciberras

The last three men are a bit tongue-in-cheek.....below is my hubby Kurt Paris, (photographer for the night)...obviously I might be a teeny bit biased but the truth is I didn't choose his outfit at all, was too busy thinking about myself..but I was really impressed with it and think he deserves a mention - Zara hat, Steel&Jelly Top, Aldo bow-tie

Now these last two (vip) I am definitely biased as I styled Ryan Gatt (responsible for Simshar press) and Mark Mifsud (one of the main male actors) in Tommy Hilfiger..but well obviously since I styled them I like them :) and thumbs up to Ryan who really didn't want to wear that bow-tie but wore it anyway :)

Simshar : My Top Female Looks at The Red Carpet Premiere

 By: Unknown    23:01  No comments

Let me start by giving my general thoughts on the style and fashion of the night. 

First off, there were some really beautifully dressed individuals both men and women, both VIPS and general audience, of course some VIPS over shone the other guests but I did spot some really cool outfits from both areas.

However, speaking on a general basis, as far as female fashion went...I was very happy that most people did get dolled up and there were very few faux pas but I had hoped to see some more women, especially some VIPs who I expected to really go all out, play it a little less safe, I feel like a lot of women were happy to simply 'wear a dress' without experimenting in some way with maybe a different hairstyle, bold colours or striking accessories. Now the men, that's actually a different story...there were many stylish men, some wearing contrasting colours or clashing patterns, bow ties and other adornments - thumbs up to the men..I was very impressed.

I think Maltese women in general need to start being a little less conservative and experimenting with style a bit more, whilst there will of course never be anything wrong with a pretty dress, at the end of the day, unless the dress is some elaborate couture design that speaks a million and one style words, I think it might be a good idea to start looking at adding that something special that gives an outfit your own personal touch because otherwise you're just another girl wearing another pretty dress.

Now as regards to who I liked most please remember that this is just MY OPINION but for what it's worth here goes....

American Ambassador to Malta Gina Winstanley (vip) looked fabulous in a layered dress and crop top outfit - her crop top is by Greta Wallace of SimplyGreta (New York). Unfortunately she couldn't recall the exact name of the boutique from where she picked up her fabulous necklace. 

I loved all the ilsien in-nisa girls (vip) and they all get a huge thumbs up but Moira Delia gets extra bonus points for her menswear inspired outfit that was original, extremely flattering and just oh so cool.

Karen Borg (simshar audience) looked lovely in her her vintage inspired gold dress and lace bag, loved the minimalistic accessories and red nails too!

Of course, one can never say enough words about Clare Agius (vip) and how lovely she looked. I loved the hair, the makeup, the dress by Charles and Ron ....stunning

When I first met Sef Farrugia (vip) she had this thing whereby she would produce a whole collection for a fashion show and then walk out at the finale not wearing one of her own designs (because she didn't have time) ....finally, she seems to have wised up and good thing too because in this look she is one of the best self-adverts she could possibly be...the dress is amazing as are the shoes she paired it with and of course her trademark hairstyle.

Unfortunately I am unaware as to who this beautifully dressed woman is...leave me a comment if you do.... also, these photos don't do this dress justice as the back (backless with a knot but cut beautifully) was the best part...she looked fabulous though. NOTE * Mystery woman identified - Margaret Seguna

Noelene Miggiani (simshar audience) gets a big thumbs up for pairing a black catsuit with a gold knit cardigan that I loved and conveniently kept her warm in the chilliest of nights..... and LEOPARD print shoes.

 

Pianist Giselle Grima (simshar audience) caught my eye for her choice of colour and the lovely shoulder design on her dress, she looked great!

Makeup Artists Tamara Burr (simshar audience) shows us how vintage should be worked- as always she looks fabulous, a perfect mixture of cool,trendy,stylish , quirky..loved it!

Actress Laura Klepo (vip) wowed from head to toe in her outfit (in a design by June Shop Paris, tailor made by Nelly (a French stylist)) that combined different textures and patterns....and with her 8 month baby bump nonetheless, a fashion inspiration too all expectant mothers-to-be.

And of course ..last but definitely not least ...the brains behind this movie Rebecca Cremona (vip)...in a Sef Farrugia custom-made gown and amazing antique gold filigree jewellery (GABA Jewellers) that I was tempted to rob her of.

Simshar : Outfit Post : What the Style Blogger (Yes Me) Wore to the Red Carpet Premiere

 By: Unknown    12:57  No comments

Without further ado here's the lowdown on what I decided to wear to Simshar's Red Carpet Event. A little insight into my planning - first off my role as the style blogger for the evening on the red carpet meant I wanted to somehow look cool, stylish and edgy...I didn't really take comfort into the equation which explains why I froze my ass of in the chilly wind and could no longer walk by the end of the evening after 6 hrs of standing - 10 points Caroline. 

Anyway, after musing this over, I decided I wanted to wear a Maltese designer to an event that was all about celebrating and embracing local talent so I chose to wear a dress that I had fallen in love with at the Charles and Ron Fashion Show last year, at Malta Fashion Week 2013, it's a beautiful dress that is a perfect mixture of prettiness, intricate elaborate craftsmanship and style. 

I then decided to offset the cuteness with a punk hair updo that I must thank Svetlana at Toni and Guy Hilton for, a new pair of Christian Louboutin shoes that although beautiful, reminded me of torture contraptions by midway through the evening, a gold Coccinelle bag to hold my camera and mobile (necessary style scouting tools), lightly patterned gold tights, a pair of padlock Michael Kors earrings and green mascara (yes I did just write green mascara - coloured mascara has become my thing... more about this in future posts).

So here are some more photos by Kurt Paris....let me know what you think of my choice :)

Dress : Charles and Ron

Shoes : Christian Louboutin

Earrings : Michael Kors

Bag : Coccinelle

Tights : Chantelle Thomas

Hair : Toni and Guy Hilton

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.
