Fashion Documentaries


At the moment my full time job is so much more relaxing and stress free compared to my previous job. I am finally catching up on redoing my design space, unpacking my fabric, and getting to my list of must watch shows on Netflix. 

One of the most recent documentaries I've seen is "In Louboutin's Shoes," directed by Michael Waldman. It's a great look into the way Louboutin works and how he gets inspired. Plus, the shoes are simply stunning even through the TV and not in person. If you love shoes or need a short fashion documentary to filly our time, I would recommend checking this one out.

 Next on my list was of course "Iris," directed by Albert Maysies. Honestly, I don't know how I waited so long to watch it. I've read about her and seen snip-its here and there, and she's truly an inspiration. I'm not huge into jewelry, but I love the way she combines textiles, colors, and patterns. I absolutely loved the documentary. It was a great mixture of past, present, and what she's planning on continuing doing. I love how she has her hands in so many baskets. From writing, to helping exhibits, to collecting vintage, to teaching, she just does a little bit of everything and I love it. I recommend it to anyone looking for a fun watch.

 My upcoming list to watch:
  • "The First Day in May"
  • "House of Z"
Other ones I've seen that I'd recommend: "Dior & I," "Mademoiselle C," and "Scatter My Ashes at Bergdorf's."

Mood Board for Writing Characters

The Dire Circle - " The circle is dire, much like the outcomes of these stories. In this black zodiac themed anthology, you may come to dislike other people...maybe even yourself."   When I pitched an idea for "The Dire Circle" during 2021, I wasn't sure that it would even get picked. But, once it did and I was given a Black Zodiac to then develop my short story, I decided to do what I do for costuming a character - I made a mood board for my main character.  My Black Zodiac was the Serpent and my short story for the anthology is Twisted Tales, Dripping in Honey . My story centered around a very femme fatale main character with lots of buried secrets. I looked to old Hollywood glamour, dark reds, demon eyes, and other glints of seductress mixed with sweetness to create Melia . For me, coming up with a name was very difficult. After creating what should would look like, having an idea of her voice, her outfits, her drive, everything about her, I still needed the...

Malotke Writes - Updated Website

Guess who got new headshots done? Me! I've been continuing to submit various written pieces (poems, drabbles, flash fiction, short stories, etc.) and have been needing headshots for some of the submissions. Since I have been using my photo from senior year of college (shot for the fashion show program) I had decided that maybe it was time for some new, and way more recent, photos.  Pictured left is one of my favorite photos from the photography session. I've already updated my website using a bunch of the photos and I've sent them off for social media / marketing for upcoming interviews & anthologies that I'm included in.  Here is a link to my writing website: Malotke Writes
