Stockholm part 1!

I´ve had a great week in Stockholm together with Maria. Very intense but interesting to see how it works behind the scenes and to get a sense of how exposed you are and at the same time all the opportunities  that are given to you when you are a celeb ( as Maria). It´s been so much fun to be by Marias side as a bystander, as her sidekick but most of all as friends.

So I arrived Monday and started of with NK Galan together with Maria and Johan Pråmell ( who is the producer of Wahlgrens world that won Best TV- Show at KristallenGalan)                                                                

We went to bed pretty late and went up early the day after because we were picked up around 7 am puh (not what I´m used to) to go to TV3 presentation of all shows for the Fall.

Journalists everywhere, cameras, tv-profiles, Muas, staff, and people all over! People I´ve never met but seen a lot of on TV offcourse. The feeling of when you are so familiar with somebody that you think you know them and are just about to say Hi!! And then you realize that you have actually never met before haha. I talked a lot with Åsa Vesterlund and I really have to say how wonderful she is! Maria looked stunning in E. MallaS. Dress!

After this intense morning we went straight to Mix Megapol to be part of a talkshow called Dilemma. I was like the fly on the wall, sitting in the corner, listening, absorbing the impression of how it all works in a radiostation, fun I must say!

So with Anders Nilsson as the leader of the show, Maria, Josefin Crawford and master of desserts Sebastien Boudet as the guests, they solved a bunch of dilemmas together, very enjoyable.

Even though I was just a viewer and didn’t have to accomplish anything, I was just as tired as Maria ( and she had yetlag on top off it all). With all the new impressions we headed back to the hotel At Six, to attend to TV3s dinnerparty  wich ended up SO fun!! We sat next to Frida Boisen and Magnus Karlsson ( from the Tv-show Lyxfällan) and had some fun conversations. I will watch every program from now on! Yes, another late evening.

We had Wednesday off except for a meeting later that day. A meeting that I ´ve really looked forward to!  I met Åsa Lundegård, chief editor for M-Magasin to see the  story they wrote about E.MallaS. Hope Project that will be publishied in M-Magasin on September 27th! Can´t wait, I´m SO excited!

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.
