PARASCANDALO Fashion Show // SERIOUSLY BLACK

Favourites from Malta Fashion Week 2014

Considering I am still suffering from post-fashion week symptoms, I have decided to do another related post which will also be my last covering Malta Fashion Week 2014. Below are some of the garments that stood out prominently, in my opinion of course, over others. Saying this, it does not mean that I did not like the other brands or clothing - it is just that I actually see myself wearing the pieces below.

THE OUTFIT: What I wore to Malta Fashion Week 2014

Instead of showing you what I wore to the Malta Fashion Week 2014 in the events' posts, I decided to do a separate one at the end showing you all my outfits at one go. Unfortunately, I did not attend all the shows due to being swamped with studying for my end of year exams - will do my best to be present more frequently next year.

Day 1: Morning // Creative Factory 7 & Ritienne Zammit

Don't you just hate it when you plan an outfit and the weather ends up ruining your plan all together? That is what happened to me on day 1, and this is what I wore instead;

Day 5: MFWA 2014 // Bridal Fashion Show

At first I was quite apprehensive about attending this event, but I changed my mind at the last minute and decided to tag along. I was quite surprised and the show surpassed my expectations.

The bridal fashion show consisted of three fashion houses, one local and two foreign. The location fitted the theme perfectly, having been held at La Valette Hall at the Mediterranean Conference Centre.

Wedding Bells

Intricate details and embellishment adorning the charming lace, grand silk and chiffon fabrics dominated this Maltese collection. Each gown had its own unique look, ranging from high lows to tea lengths, while differentiating in silhouettes of balls gown, mermaid, a-line and sheath. Necklines also varied between strapless, v-necks, illusions and one-shoulder.

Day 3: MFWA 2014 // Charles & Ron

With previous collections already embodying Maltese traditions, I thought I had seen it all, or most of it anyway. But I could not have been more wrong. Up until this evening I have never seen fashion and culture so intertwined, leading to the most mesmerising collection. 

The location could not have fitted more perfectly, with Charles & Ron showcasing their design at Fort St. Elmo, one of Malta's oldest fortification in Valletta. From the Triton fountain to the Renzo Piano design for the new Parliament building to the details engraved in antique yet prestigious architecture, Charles & Ron managed to incorporate Malta's capital city, Valletta, into their Spring/Summer '15 collection. Abstract and symbolic designs, laser perforations, leather and pastels graced tonight's show.

Day 1: MFWA 2014 // New Designers Show

Yesterday evening I also attended the New Designers Fashion Show in the evening at Casino Maltese. My camera was not appropriate for the lighting that was on location, and the photos I took with my phone did not turn out any good. So I will be using professional photos of photographers whose name I will be mentioning.

Natalie Bronfman developed a line for strong women who love clean cuts and elegance. The collection consisted of a mixture of colours, with the most vibrant, prominent colour being fuchsia.
