Events Post : Fashion For a Cause

It’s official May has become FASHION month in Malta – I’m not quite sure how this happened..it isn’t that way in foreign countries…our fashion awards and later our fashion week always took place in May so maybe that started it all, or maybe the fact that the weather has started to get nice and sunny but the intense summer heat hasn’t started yet, either way, for whatever reason(s) May in Malta = Fashion.

This means that besides the super exciting and soon-approaching fashion week, there are a number of other fashion shows and events taking place around the island throughout May, the first of which took place yesterday. Fashion For a Cause as it is titled, is organised yearly by MYN media (Marisa Grima, Yvonne Desira Buttigieg and Noelene Miggiani) and this year was in aid of Marigold Foundation. The show was set up in the form of a tea party at Villa Francia under the patronage of Mrs Michelle Muscat. The place is stunning…really really beautiful…I’m always amazed when I discover yet another beautiful building in Malta, we really are lucky to have such a wealth of heritage in our country.

The brands which participated in this show were ALDO shoes, LIST ROMA, Massimo Dutti, Pronovias, Marks&Spencer, Victor Azzopardi Jewellers, Monsoon. The event kicked off with a stylish tea party in the back garden followed by a lovely catwalk show in the front garden with models from supernovamodel.com styled by Marisa. I really liked the setting of this catwalk, it felt different somehow and really appropriate for the occassion.

I didn’t actually get to watch the show..I was backstage working away but the clothes from up close looked absolutely LOVELY…loved Marisa’s styling and loved the actual clothes; soooo many pretty dresses.
