You know you’ve just seen a brilliant collection when members of the audience walk up a long flight of steps in high heels to see the clothes up close and personal and ask the designers to reserve pieces for them; instead of going directly for a glass of wine.
Praise for tonight is twofold, the organisers of the event did a brilliant, brilliant job in setting up the event on the steps of Renzo Piano as they are known in Valletta, the lighting was perfect, the mood captured the vibe perfectly and the model timing was spot on. Speaking of the models, their walks really rose to the occasion today with many of the models giving their best ever catwalk performance.
Next praise of course now goes to the divine Caroline Hili. When you meet Caroline Hili and learn that she’s a fashion designer who has worked for some of the biggest names in the industry, it simply makes sense. Caroline screams elegance, from the manner in which she speaks, to her natural poise and beauty…I always expected something brilliant from her. She did not disappoint in any way, shape or form – the collection simply couldn’t be better. From a white pantsuit that looked perfect from all angles, to a silver dress with the cutest flounce hem, to stunning gowns…there’s a lot to tickle one’s fancy. It is very evident from these pieces that Caroline knows a thing or two about the craft of fashion design and understands a woman’s body and how to enhance it. She also seems to know just what women want and her pieces are striking without being overwhelming and stylish without being over-the-top trendy. I applaud her good taste.
And here are my favourite looks of the night – all photos by Kurt Paris.
