Stockholm part 2!

Thursday morning, taxi picked us up at 7.15 to go to Tv3, Aftonbladet live. First we went to get some final make-up retouch before  Maria and Anna Anka were attending to an interview about the Swedish Hollywood wifes that started Tuesday night.  Annie Lööf was also there to be interviewed. Me and David (Annas boyfriend) waited outside the film studio. I think it´s very interesting to see it all from behind the scenesJ

We spend the afternoon at NK to buy some things for myself and for Maria to bring home  ( oh yes, I forgot that before that Maria had a phone-interview  and one commercial- recording  puh)

Anyway, we met the designer of MaxJenny and she invited us to see her fashionshow at NK, so in between the shopping we saw her show, fantastic prints and stunning creations!

Friday! Picked up around 7.30 and off to the Strand Hotel to an influencer-breakfast. It´s kind of weird to see the influencers ( my opinion), not really talking to each other. Instead they are talking to (not in) their phones, filming , one louder than the other. Off course it´s their job to  film /live podding for other people to see and listen to them. They put their inside out for everyone, being SO personal and intimate towards their audience and listeners BUT  the people that are there, around them in presence, they hardy notice. It seems to me so impersonal but…. I´m getting old, I know!

Well, it was fun anywayJ We previewed the upcoming show of Swedish Hollywood wives together with the influencers, there were pics taken and interviews with both Maria and Anna.

I went for an outside walk while Maria was interviewed and I had a fast cup of coffee with Ann Wilson who just arrived to the hotel. So, now we hurried back to make the last changes of Marias outfit for Kristallengalan. We both got dressed, curled our hair, putting our makeup on and went to Gubbhyllan for a preparty/mingle with all TV3 profiles before entering Cirkus where Kristallen Galan took place.

Soooo much people, photographers, media. Everyone sparkeled and looked beautiful but I still think that Maria was stunning in E.MallaS. dress!

 

Saturday and it´s time to go back home! Thank you SO much Maria for taking me with you every step this last week, we have had a great time together and you are such a generous, fun and thoughtful person, also one of my closest friends<3

Finally home! I just LOVE to come home to a warm, cleaned, candlelit home<3 Thank you my beautiful Ella and Kent for making me so happy and I really feel missed and loved!

How it all started…

I´ve lived very close to my dad, actually in the same building, for 23 years. Me and my family in one part and my dad in one part of the house. So I´m sure you understand how close to eachother we´ve been.

The day my dad told me that he had cancer I´ll never forget. For me, he was superman, the strongest man in the world, he knew everything, he could create anything and he was so very intelligent. He, of all people just could never be sick.

A couple of years later  my mom got sick in cancer too. She had to go through the tough process of chemo and treatment. Both were suffering at the same time. As being by their side and not being able to do anything to make it go away makes you feel so helpless! My dad passed away last year, he lived with the cancer for 17 years, although they told him he only had 5 years left ( I now know that he really was superman).

Like most people I have friends and acquaintances that suffered or suffers in cancer.

Fatima, a dear friend of mine, had breastcancer, they removed her breast and she had to go through a year of tough treatment. She said to me;

- Malin, I´ll never be able to wear a light, flowy dress with thin shoulderstraps and open back again! I need a steady support for my breastprosthetic and there aren’t any dresses like that out there. Can´t you create one??

I thought to myself that I do know how to create dresses and maybe I could give it a try.

Fatima inspired me to start Malla Sweden Hope Project, to create a dress with those ingredients that she asked for: thin shoulderstraps, open back, steady support, a pocket for the prosthetic in a light and flowy luxurious silk, hand dyed in ombre from nude to pale pink.

I decided to create a limited edtition of the dresses! I received some fantastic volunteering help from the Nicolaischool Textile & design program and from outstanding  Yvonne Hansson (Yacht tillskärare), Lilian Olsson, Lotte Udén, Stina Nordström, Anchi Karlsson, Elisabet Forslund, Åse Kjell, Dejan Borko och Helene Stålkrantz. who came to my studio and worked so hard together to finish these 32 handmade dresses! Even my lovely daughter Ella and my husband Kent helped.
