Valletta, Malta’s Capital City, where I have spent many years of my early childhood helping my dad out and learning about fashion and accessories and retail business from a very young age, has and always will have a special place in my heart. Not surprisingly named the European Capital City of Culture 2018, I always feel a positive energy in Malta’s capital city, walking around the streets. All you have to do is look up and around you to see beautiful works of art, and the astonishing architecture and listen to the sounds of shoppers and clicky sounds coming from the cafes and restaurants, serving food and drinks all day long.
I believed that this backdrop would be the perfect place to shoot my new Charles & Ron outfit. I wore the jacket, top and jeans with these high-heeled shoes from Guess, for that glamourous touch of modern elegance. For this shoot, my hair was styled by Mixa’s Salon and make-up was done by Stephanie Hodgkins.
Malta’s leading high fashion designers Charles Borg and Ron Van Maarshcalkerweerd have recently opened their doors to their new signature flagship store in Valletta. I was invited to the launch event and could not help getting my hands on a few pieces on my wish list from their winter collection, inspired by Maltese traditions including Ganutell (hand-made lace-making).
The main colour tones of this collection, as you can see in my jacket and top, are focused around green hues, blended intricately with purples, blacks and whites. They also designed a line of classy handbags in single tone or two-tone colour combinations to match. These are all available for viewing and purchase online here via their website www.charlesandron.com
The Charles & Ron jeans are very comfortable and also flattering and they come in two shades of blue and black. This is an outfit I would wear to an important work meeting or to social event with friends in a trendy restaurant or lounge bar. Of course, my mobile phone comes with me everywhere I go to take that selfie or take photos to share on my Instagram page!
Tip: If the heels I am wearing here are too high for you, perhaps you can opt for a pair of low-heeled boots for a more comfortable outing in style.
