Styling Work : The Elf – Ilsien in-Nisa Weekly

As some of you may know, I’ve been writing for the Ilisen in-Nisa Weekly for the last three months. I’ve also styled two fashion editorials – the first one was all about Maltese designers and this second one is all about Playful Fashion – A Dark and Brooding Elf. Both these shoots were printed in a special December issue that’s still on sale in Malta at Agenda and 8TillLate (proceeds go to charity).
For those who haven’t yet bought the magazine, here’s the result of the photoshoot – shot by Kurt Paris. The model is the stunning Michela Buhajar (supernova.com), Makeup by Mateja Camilleri and Hair by Alexander Carabott. We shot this shoot in Viscount Toy Store Valletta.

The concept is a dark and brooding one, with an element of surrealism, a dark elf surrounded by children’s toys just before Christmas. Kurt had the brilliant idea of shooting this editorial in monochrome which fitted the theme perfectly.


I styled the looks using mainly dark colours with an element of monochrome. I played around with different textures, sequins, leather finished, shiny fabric and fur. All these products are available locally and I also used pieces from two of our local designers Marco Parascandalo and Rosemarie Abela
