Malta Fashion Week is fast approaching and whilst the timing may seem a bit strange to some, seeing as most fashion weeks are in September and February, ours is a fashion week with a difference !! The purpose of our fashion week is not only for Maltese designers to showcase their new collections, but also to celebrate the fashion industry worldwide and to award and exhibit the work of different people in the Maltese fashion industry. In fact, the main event is actually an awards night where photographers/make-up artists/models/designers/hair stylists/nail stylists nominees compete in their respective category.
Complete details can be found at Malta Fashion Week but let me give you a quick run through of the highlights.
The event kicks off on Thursday the 3rd with an evening private launch party at MedAsia, this is open to all the organisers, contributors, media and nominees and should be an exciting evening to style watch- I’ll be posting some photos of the sassiest looks here.
On Friday a Fashion Photography Exhibition at Pjazza San Gorg Valletta (infront of the President’s Palace) is launched, 40 huge photo posters of 3m by 2m each presenting the work of Maltese and foreign fashion photographers will be exhibited for an entire week.
