Rosita Silk Sense - Serendipity Collection, Nathan Micallef - Really Not Real

Silk designer Rosita gets inspired by the colours of her beautiful Lithuanian countryside encompassed in the rich Mediterranean hues. This year, Rosita presents her 'Serendipity' Collection at the Malta Fashion Week. Serendipity - the pleasure of being pleasantly surprised whilst not expected it. The collection is made up of short and long 100% pure silk Kaftans which are painted with traditional Japanese Shibori , Indonesian Batik and other techniques. Everything is hand made and hand painted and no two pieces are alike. The dresses are appropriate for both casual and formal occasions. There is something for men too in this collection. Rosita presented a selection of hand-painted and hand made Silk ties with matching pocket squares for that formal occasion.

Day 2 - Malta Fashion Week 2017 - The Gods, Vanity Rebels and Boho Goddess

Day 2 started with a collection named 'The Gods' by Herminas Reea who is a young Greco-Armenian designer based in Romania. The collection is inspired by the contemporary women's fragility and tenderness of the endless femininity and the magical beauty characterising the women seeing beauty as a goddess, or the woman believing in the beauty of the goddess. Herminas Reea's designes focus on lace and are handmade with diaphanous veils which highlight the women's innocence but at the same time her femininity and sensuality.

The new collection 'Vanity Rebels' is inspired by youth and pop culture and contains delicate fabrics, embroidery and and a surprising mixture of patterns and textures. The PARASCANDALO staple, the t-shirt, has been reintroduced again into this collection turning it into a showpiece with the use of graphics. The t-shirts are partnered with deconstructed denim, comfy sweats and one-off unique patchwork pieces.

The last show for the night was by Maria Cutajar who represented 'Boho Goddess'. Knowing Maria, she has always had a flair for Fashion and this year's Fall/Winter Collection is inspired from the bohemian lifestyle, which is describes the marginalised and impoverished artist. The main aim behind this collection is to empower the inner beauty of a woman and to make her inner artist emerge in the world of today.
