Les Robes de mariées de Lily – MALAM Collections
A conversation with Marie, the designer behind MALAM.
Lily: How would you describe the world behind your designs?
MALAM develops an original creative world in which shapes, fabrics and distinctive details play an important role.
Lily: What are your collections called?
There is a permanent collection, “Les Poupées Perdues”, alongside new designs created over time.
Lily: Which materials do you work with most?
I use many different materials, particularly vintage and repurposed fabrics. Fabrics are often chosen for their colours, prints and their ability to give each garment its own identity.
Lily: What makes your designs distinctive?
MALAM designs are intended to feel personal and different, with original cuts and the possibility of adapting certain pieces to the customer.
Lily: How are the pieces produced?
Depending on the design, pieces may be one of a kind, made in small series or adapted for an individual customer.
Lily: Which dresses would you recommend to brides?
The article presents a wide range of MALAM bridal designs, from short and lightweight dresses to longer gowns, along with accessories and details designed to complete a wedding outfit.
Lily: What would you suggest for a smaller budget?
Shorter styles and some of the simpler designs can provide a more accessible option while retaining an original and personalised silhouette.
Lily: How do you work with each bride?
The process begins with the customer’s tastes, wishes, body shape and the style she is looking for. Fabric choices and adjustments help create a more personal outfit.
