FASHION INTERVIEW<br />
<strong>ST</strong>: When are Fashion Weeks Held?<br />
GC: Fashion week occurs twice a year and in several cities.<br />
Traditionally the shows start in New York, then they move on to<br />
London, Milan, and finally Paris. Most recently newer fashion<br />
capitals all over the world have sprung their own fashion weeks<br />
including Stockholm and Australia.<br />
<strong>ST</strong>: What do you do as a bloggers at<br />
Fashion Weeks?<br />
GC: Well I am a consumer too and I have really close<br />
relationship with many other consumers through my blogs and<br />
social media, and at the end of the day, brands want people to<br />
buy their clothes. Bloggers who attend fashion weeks serve as<br />
a marketing tool to create awareness for the show by wearing a<br />
current pieces or build up anticipation for future pieces to look<br />
for, as well as trend spotting. But fashion week for bloggers isn’t<br />
just about going to shows and writing articles. There are lot of<br />
after hour events, lunches, parties and branded campaigns that<br />
go hand-in-hand with this week of fashion.<br />

<strong>ST</strong>: Tell us about Milan Fashion Week and how<br />
these international events affect you<br />
GC: Well, where do I begin?! This was my second experience at Milan’s Fashion<br />
Week and I must say that this experience was one of my favourite for many reasons.<br />
I travelled and shared the experience with my friend Denis Aljush, a blogger and<br />
influencer in his own right. Originally from Macedonia. Residing in Malta he too is very<br />
keen about the fashion world and we often attend events together and give opinions to<br />
each other about outfits and so on. We share similar tastes in that we both can adapt<br />
our dress sense to the particular event on hand, and fashion week was no exception.<br />
So, we attended a myriad of fashion shows and presentations together, wearing lovely<br />
outfits which were prepared in advance and the results were excellent in that we had<br />
a great response from other participating bloggers, influencers, fashion photographers<br />
and participating designers themselves. I personally felt so at home at Fashion Week and<br />
so did Denis.<br />
We made sure to have our eyes open for upcoming trends and new designers because<br />
we both love the fashion world and we treat it as an artistic expression of ourselves.<br />
For us fashion is not just a matter of dressing up to feel warm or comfortable but we<br />
express our creative tastes and feelings through our choices. We both like to share our<br />
experiences with our followers on our social media platforms so the Fashion Week<br />
attracts a lot of new followers to check out what we are seeing and doing and wearing!<br />
<strong>ST</strong>: How do you cover Fashion Weeks<br />
on your social media and blog pages?<br />
GC: Since I cover fashion, travel and beauty, I attend shows<br />
backstage before to look at beauty trends and see how hair<br />
and makeup is done and meet with the teams. This year all<br />
bloggers including myself where Blogging daily and going live<br />
on Instagram Stories or Snapchat.<br />
During the show, the front rows are full of iPhones. I take<br />
pictures to show favourite looks from the collection or a<br />
memorable moment.<br />
After the show, I usually post a picture of what I was wearing<br />
or favourite looks I saw. At the end of the whole week, I will<br />
post various fashion week posts on my blog for all my followers<br />
to enjoy. This also helps me build a great relationship with the<br />
designers internationally which is important for me. <strong>ST</strong><br />
