Crafting Stories Through Fashion and Shoes
This May, FiftySix Design Talks invites you to the worlds of fashion and shoe design, where tradition meets innovation to create something truly magical. Join us at the Valletta Design Cluster for insightful talks by Angela Lu Combeléran and Becky Grech, who are transforming the way we think about what we wear, one stitch and one step at a time.
Angela will explore how fashion serves as a powerful form of personal expression and communication. She’ll share insights into the journey of fashion items from the drawing board to the retail environment, emphasising how each piece can tell a compelling story. Meanwhile, Becky’s shoes are more than just footwear—they’re works of art. As the creative force behind BX Design, Becky crafts shoes that tell stories of Maltese heritage with a modern twist. Imagine wearing a pair of shoes that not only look fabulous but also carries the spirit of centuries-old craftsmanship!
Join us at the heart of contemporary design with Fifty Six Design Talks, a monthly talk series co-hosted by The Golden Glitch and the Valletta Design Cluster.
