Outside the Mediterranean Conference Centre, a red carpet entrance was set up for the nominees to go through for this year’s Malta Fashion Awards. One could see the nominees arriving in luxury cars, wearing fantastic and creative outfits.

On stage one could not fail to notice the massive (4mx2m) screen that was used to project the image of the presenter Domenique Desira who was pre-recorded. Hundreds of metres of aluminum trusses were used to create a diamond shape complete with state-of-the-art lighting technology.

The organisers wanted to time the whole show perfectly, something which is extremely difficult in an event of this scale, which is why they pre-recorded the presenter. There was no room for mistakes and everything had to work to the nearest second.

The show was produced by Unique Promotions and directed by Adrian J. Mizzi. The performers included Muttley, Jay Omaro, Triston B, Indigo and Ira Losco. There was also a body art show by Anthony Desira and fashion shows by Ladies Secret, D Designers, Pavillion Jewellers, Beatrix and Sir Edward. Hair shows were also presented by the four nominees, The Hair Lounge, Senshi, Love Birds and Cut Coiffeur.

The main sponsors were Mercedes Benz backed up by Diet Coke. The whole show will be transmitted on PBS end of June.
