The Malta Fashion Awards, a festival of styles

Variety was not lacking at last Saturday's Diet Coke Malta Fashion Awards 2009.

Fashion shows included the winter collection by design duo Charles and Ron and Gozitan Caroline Hili, who works in Milan’s design world and who made her local debut. The spectacle continued with hair shows by nominated hairstylists, singers and DJs. Organised by Unique Promotions and Fashion Studios, the innovative aspect was the intermingling of fashion and music, according to its director, Adrian Mizzi
