Spring 2020 trends to shop now at The Duke

Are you ready to update your winter wardrobe? The key Spring 2020 trends for women have been revealed, and denim is back in a big way.

Spring 2020 trends: Jeans

If you buy one thing this spring, make it an excellent pair of jeans.

Good quality denim in a new season silhouette has the power to completely transform your style.

For Spring/Summer 2020, Promod on the Ground Level at The Duke is adding an eighties-inspired fit to its range.

The ‘Balloon Jean’ comes with a high-rise waist, an exaggerated curved leg, and a subtle taper. It could prove to be a big rival for your favourite skinny jeans.

Double Denim

Denim was huge on both the Milan and Paris Spring Summer 2020 catwalks with lots of different washes on display.

The look was kept close to its casual roots with oversized jackets and slouchy jeans. For real impact, throw on a denim shirt too.

Pastel Shades

Nothing says ‘spring’ quite like pretty pastel shades of zesty lemon, fresh mint, and delicate violet.

Be bold and opt for a complete tonal outfit in one dreamy shade.

Trench coats

Spotted on the catwalks in London, Paris and Milan, this fashion favourite is going nowhere.

Perfect for spring, this classic coat will instantly smarten up a tired outfit, plus it goes with just about anything!

Retro florals

Florals for the spring time? Amazing, isn’t it?

But this season they’ve been given a big overhaul in the form of 1960s-inspired balloon sleeve blouses.

You’ll find all the latest trends for women’s clothing at the newly refurbished Promod shop on the Ground Level here at The Duke in Victoria.

Promodis a French fashion brand with perfect-fit clothes and the right finishing touch, with a style that fits and reveals your true self.

From smart to casual, basic clothing or statement pieces – you’ll find what you need at Promod.

Open every day, including Sunday mornings.

Easter in Gozo: How to make your own figolla

It’s time to bake Gozo’s favourite Easter treat! Easter in Gozo is a magical time of year and the celebrations are among some of the best in the cultural calendar.

It’s a time of festivals, processions and, of course, great food.

People in Gozo love their food and Easter time is no exception. As well as Easter eggs and chocolate, traditional Maltese figolli are a popular sweet. All of these can be found at Greens Supermarket, but you can also create your own!

Figolli are biscuits filled with almond paste, covered in delicious icing and shaped to resemble eggs, rabbits, butterflies, lambs, hearts and even cars. Throughout Easter time, you can find figolli in shops, cafes and confectioneries across the Maltese Islands but there’s nothing better than a homemade figolla. Choosing the shape and decoration of it yourself makes it that much more creative and special. Why not try your hand at making them this year?

How to make traditional Maltese figolli

Truly being organised with your ingredients and equipment before you get started in the kitchen is the key to recipe success. You can get lots of special cutters and baking utensils from the TKS, The Kitchen Store at Level -1, The Duke. TKS have everything you need for a successful figolli baking session.

Ingredients can be bought from Greens Supermarket also at Level -1, The Duke. Local top TV cook and renowned food writer Karmen Tedesco says: ‘Easter figolli aren’t difficult to bake. You have to be gentle with the pastry but you can work it all by hand. I make them with my grandchildren, preparing the pastry the night before. I then give them some to roll out and shape themselves. We make all sorts of fantastic shapes!’

Here’s the best recipe for Maltese figolli

For the pastry

400g self-raising flour

100g sugar

2 eggs

100g margarine

1tbsp of water

Orange rind

For the filling

200g ground almonds

125ml water

100g sugar

For the icing

150g icing sugar

1-2tbsp warm water

1tbsp bitter cocoa powder

¼tsp margarine

1tbsp of rum or brandy

Method:

For the pastry, mix the flour and margarine. Whisk together the sugar, eggs and orange rind. Add this to the flour mix to form a soft dough. Add a bit of water. Leave the dough to rest for 15 minutes.
For the filling, add the sugar and water in a saucepan, and heat it until it dissolves. Bring to the boil and remove from the hob. Add some ground almonds and stir well.
Preheat the oven to 200° or gas mark 5-6.
Place the dough on baking parchment and cut out two shapes of the same size. Prepare a floured oven tray. Place the first shape on the tray and spread the almond paste on it, sandwiching it with the second shape.
Put the tray with the figolla in the oven for 25 minutes. Once cooked, take it out and let it cool.
Mix the icing sugar and cocoa powder. Add a tablespoon of warm water to the margarine and add it to the sugar-cocoa mix. Add the rum or brandy.
Decorate your figolla with colourful icing and some chocolate shavings
What are you waiting for? Start your shopping and get baking!

The Duke signs new brands

Gozo’s leading shopping centre has recently welcomed four new and exciting brands, giving customers even more choice and value. The Duke’s slogan of The Place to Be, is now even more so, with the introduction of these new shops and shopping stalls within the mall.

The brands introduced are MVintage, Perf & Co., Women’s Secret and the vending machine by Lucy make-up store. The Duke’s managing director, Mark Grech said: “We’re delighted to welcome these four brands to The Duke family, offering customers more reasons to visit our location.”

Mvintage, which is already a household name especially on the sister island Malta, is a local designer jewellery brand that owes its success to their unique outlook on jewellery, and the special women behind it. With this new outlet in Gozo, Mvintage currently has five stores on the Maltese Islands. This brand boasts female empowerment, and is built on the foundation of three core values; namely women, family and fashion. The latest Ta’ Pinu collection is a depiction of Gozo’s beauty and heritage, and where else would this be sold at, if not in Gozo’s leading shopping centre?

Perf & Co is a perfumery shop selling high-end original and discounted perfumes and skincare at duty free prices. The list of perfume brands includes Hugo Boss, Versace, Trussardi, Dolce & Gabbana and Paco Rabanne, at discounted prices. They also sell skincare products by Clinique and Estee Lauder.

Women’s Secret, a Spanish brand of underwear, sleepwear, accessories and swimwear for the contemporary woman; a woman who wants to always feel pretty, comfortable and sexy. It is a specialist in the feminine universe, a brand created by and for women which has more than 600 stores in 61 countries. The brand is committed to quality and innovation, and designs new collections made with new generation fabrics. This new outlet is found within Springfield’s shop at The Duke Shopping Mall on Level 1.

Another cool concept which also landed on The Duke’s mall is this one-of-a-kind, and actually the first on the island beauty vending machine. The Lucy team have been working on this innovative project for over a year, and this is demonstrated by the beautiful mural accompanying the machine, which was designed by a local artist. The team ensured they target various aspects, from product selection, payment methods including card and mobile pay to a QR code to scan and obtain product information details. Lucy make-up brand owner, Claire Abela stated “We hope you enjoy purchasing from this machine and hope to create many more around Malta!”

These new brands surely add up to the customers’ visit at The Duke, which is located on Republic Street, in the heart of Victoria, with ample underground parking spaces for free. Other renowned brands located at the The Duke shopping mall include Adidas, Accessorize, Artigli,   Bata, Bottega Verde, Bortex, Greens Supermarket, Glamorous, HOG, Maltco Lotteries, Matalan, Original Marines, Promod, Scibble Stationery & Bookshop, Skechers, Springfield, The Designer Outlet, The Model Shop, TKS, United Colours of Benetton.
