On Saturday the 24th May, the New Designers Fashion Show will take place as part of Malta Fashion Week 2014. This is the show in which emerging local designers have the chance to show the country their designs and basically get noticed, it is also a form of competition as one designer will win the best new designer award at the Malta Fashion Awards one week later. In anticipation of this event, (one of my favourite in the whole week) , I will be shining the spotlight on each of these 'new designers'.
Pina started in the fashion world by first making designs for herself and then for friends but when a photographer used some of her designs for a shoot in a magazine her brand took off. She is self-taught and is constantly reading books about the subject and looking information online. She is also a Podiatrist by profession. She always loved fashion design and remembers trying to make her first handbag at around age 11. It was a square 90s across body thingy with sequins attached.
he name of this collection is Relaxation Time, this is not her first time showcasing in MFW. She participated in 2011 but could not take part in the following years because she was reading a Masters degree. Here is her sneak peek:
