The Malta International Arts Festival is pleased to present the second edition of Fashion Unleashed. A fashion and movement showcase by students from the MCAST Institute for the Creative Arts, combining efforts from the Advanced Diploma in Fashion and Retail and the Advanced Diploma in Performing Arts. The performance will unveil four fashion collections: “Opulent Allure,” “Remnant,” “Velata Anima,” and “Precarious”. These creations are the students' final projects for their Advanced Diploma, aimed at preparing them for careers in the fashion industry, including roles in design, production, retail, and marketing. Performing Arts students are merged in the presentation to add motion and excitement. The event also includes a live performance by Bowz Duo featuring violinists Nadine Galea and Reginald Clews.
