A year of talent, originality and full-blown beauties

Kristina Cassar Dowling

Last year brought us some fashion staples which will reign as staples in our wardrobe for quite some time. Here's a look at Malta's most innovative fashion designers of 2018. 

Isle and Aqua

Isle and Aqua is all about designer swimwear - and the Maltese weather simply adores these bikini options. This luxury line-up is brought to our shores by the talented Giulia Pandolfino whose work was plastered all over social media in 2018.

Carla Grima

Local fashionistas were fawning over Carla Grima’s designs last year and who could blame them? The stunning summer wear she launched was to die for and her wedding collection was on-point! Pure perfection.

Parascandalo

Never a dull moment with Parascandalo. 2018 showcased the Parascandalo hoodie range which was all the rage among locals. And, when local social media legends sport your street wear on their Insta, you know you’re doing something right!

Saz Mifsud

Saz Mifsud is all about fabric baby! And if it’s not a silky headscarf wrapped around some showstopper’s locks, it’s bags and purses made in stunning silks. Beautiful material becomes a timeless piece of fashion history in Saz Mifsud’s care.

Words are not enough to fully explain the sheer talent Charles and Ron deliver to the local market. Their avant garde mentality and eye for detail are incomparable. The local elements in all their garments give us something to be super proud of! Thanks boys!

Our body image is not the only thing we should be looking out for…our homes need some TLC too! And your digs cannot get more stylish than decorated with a Sef Farrugia staple. Whether it’s a cushion on your sofa or an eye mask by your bed, her unique items are superbly exceptional.
