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.
