Events Post : Ferramoda

Last Sunday, at the Mediterranean Conference Center, the 10th edition of Ferramoda took place - besides providing a lovely night of Fashion, the main scope of this event is to raise funds for underprivileged children in Malta.

The evening was hosted by Joe Chetcuti and featured a number of fashion shows and designers and musical interludes including Soprano Ruth Sammut Casingena and as guest of honour the Italian singer Numa, (Emanuela Palmer who is also the wife of Dire Straits guitarist Phil Palmer) she actually launched her new single at the event. The song is named AMORE DEL PASSATO, at Ferramoda Numa sang the song whilst, the video, directed by Giuseppe Raccioppi (Troisi Award) was played on a screen behind her (photos

Now for the important bit - The FASHION Shows. Let's start by saying that I watched absolutely nothing since I was running around doing a million and one things backstage. Hair was set beautifully by Toni and Guy and makeup by Franks.

The first set featured local shops Trussardi Jeans

and Luisa Spagnoli. (models from supernova)

Next up was the Spanish designer Lucia De Su, her simply wonderful designs promote African culture through her choice of textiles and patterns. (models from supernova)

FERRAGIU, a new local design house by Juliana Scerri Ferrante that feature the made in MaltItaly concept, promoting the Maltese and Italian cultures using Italian wool and silks and lace and ganutell made by Gozitan and Maltese artisans. (models from supernova)

Also featured were male suits by designer Apulian Peppino The Judice sold at AG Italia and clothes and jewellery from Rodo. All the above shows also showcased sunglasses from K-Optics.

The finale of the evening was Italian Haute Couture designer Anton Giulio Grande: his clothes are made from feathers, silk, chiffon, lace and embroidery and using Swarovski crystals. (models from supernova)
