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'.
Today we shine the spotlight on LUKKA - a brand creating vintage-inspired womenswear.
Lukka Pizzuto's first foray into the word of fashion was actually as hair stylist - he studied hair styling at MCAST for 3 years. When he completed this course he immediately began studying fashion design, also at MCAST from which he was finished just last year.
This is his first time showcasing a collection at Malta Fashion Week, he describes his collection as a vintage-inspired (1940/1950 eras) floral clothing collection drawing on Van Gogh for inspiration, various drawings of floral yards and flowers which he then pictures on people.
His dream is to work full time as a fashion designer and move to east London. Here is a sneak peek of his collection.
