With its perfectly manicured Italianate gardens, the house is one of Malta\u2019s most spectacular and opulent sites, boasting a dramatic marble staircase, sumptuous gilded salons and dozens of private rooms, each with Italian-inspired Maltese frescoes. It\u2019s just one of the gorgeous villas \u2013 old and new&nbsp;\u2013 that line the streets of this otherwise unassuming little \u2018city\u2019 (more of a village to visitors like us with untrained eyes), just outside Valletta. The area has long been a closely kept secret among the island\u2019s chic set, who like to play away from the prying eyes of the hoi polloi of Malta\u2019s various historic capitals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, although the country has been catapulted into a much more progressive future, not much has changed in that respect. Except perhaps, for this very reason, Naxxar is prime in-demand real estate. It\u2019s home to some of Malta\u2019s most successful entrepreneurs and celebrities (including a few of the nation\u2019s <em>Eurovision Song Contest<\/em> pop sensations) and there are also a number of private villas for visitors to rent, although these come at a much higher price tag than in many parts of the island, considering the city\u2019s a drive from the main tourist drags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Picture the scene then: a plump-lipped chi-chi woman in a velour tracksuit is out walking her coiffured designer dog. She bumps into a gay couple in matching his-and-his head-to-toe black outfits that are cut just too short in the sleeve and ankle to be store bought. She air-kisses them, \u2018mwah, mwah\u2019. It\u2019s the go-to greeting in Maltese social circles if you\u2019re on friendly terms; a nod suffices if you\u2019re not. All three then acknowledge the presence of a shiny supercar driving past by simply peering over their sunglasses, before launching into unintelligible gossip about its owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:30% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Facebook-shop_Malta-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"This story first appeared in The Mighty Malta Issue, available in print and digital.\" class=\"wp-image-40829 size-large\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Facebook-shop_Malta-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Facebook-shop_Malta-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Facebook-shop_Malta-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Facebook-shop_Malta-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Facebook-shop_Malta-768x767.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Facebook-shop_Malta-610x609.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Facebook-shop_Malta-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Facebook-shop_Malta-240x240.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Facebook-shop_Malta-360x360.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Facebook-shop_Malta-540x540.jpg 540w, https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Facebook-shop_Malta-720x720.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Facebook-shop_Malta-770x769.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Facebook-shop_Malta-125x125.jpg 125w, https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Facebook-shop_Malta.jpg 1205w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-background\" style=\"background-color:#ffffff;font-size:15.5px\">This story first appeared in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/product\/outthere-the-mighty-malta-issue\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>The Mighty Malta Issue<\/strong><\/a>, available in print and digital.<br><br><strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/product\/outthere-4-issue-subscription\/\" target=\"_blank\">Subscribe today<\/a><\/strong> or purchase a back copy via our <strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"online shop (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/shop\/\" target=\"_blank\">online shop<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This fascinating cameo takes place on the corner of the block housing the Charles &amp; Ron flagship store and caf\u00e9, a much-loved, go-to social spot. As I enter the building, I see mannequins dressed in luminous resortwear lining the mezzanine. In front of me \u2013 visually merchandised to within an inch of their lives \u2013&nbsp;are monochrome, gender-fluid accessories emblazoned with the iconic C+R emblem I\u2019ve seen so frequently during my time in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/luxury-travel-inspiration\/malta\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Malta<\/a><\/strong>. Further in-store, a handsome barista stands behind a counter of glam cakes baked by the caf\u00e9\u2019s young head chef. She swapped her career as a structural engineer for a creative outlet in the kitchens here.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dapper locals brunch on \u2018eggs Benny\u2019 in the Californian-style caf\u00e9. A bridezilla and her tyrannosaura-mother announce themselves rather loudly as they float through the doors, blissfully unaware that they, too, have become the subject of discussion of the tattling threesome outside, who are now peering through the windows of the store. But the two women must be important, because they\u2019re greeted almost immediately by the store\u2019s proprietors \u2013 Maltese design royalty and brand namesakes Charles and Ron.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Charles is a softly-spoken but flamboyant designer who attributes his passionate creativity to his Maltese blood. A self-taught bridalwear maker, he comes from a long line of seamstresses \u2013 his aunties. Today, Charles is a highly regarded couturier to the Maltese glitterati, with a waiting list over three years long and celebrity status to boot. He met his husband Ron in Amsterdam in 1992, bonding over a mutual adoration for Barbra Streisand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Ron came to Malta to visit, loved it and never left. And, after 25 years together, they married when Malta changed its laws to allow equal civil partnerships. Ron brings a no-nonsense, Dutch pragmatism and diplomacy to complement Charles\u2019s brimming creativity and has helped to grow the brand into ready to wear, casual dining and, at the time of press, we\u2019re told, homewares (you heard it here first \u2013 C+R Maltese fig candles will quickly become a much-desired souvenir), all this across three retail outlets in Malta, international fashion weeks and select stores around the world.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#26647f;font-size:19px\">&#8220;Any Maltese person you meet, anywhere in the world, has had their life touched by Charles and Ron&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s safe to say that C&amp;R is by far Malta\u2019s leading fashion (and now lifestyle) brand. Their signature style draws inspiration from the archipelago, with Maltese motifs, colours and stories featuring heavily in their collections. Their work is brushed with a 1990s fashion sensibility when it comes to design, yet is timeless and effortlessly commercial. Their clothing and accessories leap off the pages of the fashion magazines they\u2019re regularly featured in, not to mention the many Hollywood music videos and red carpets. Despite their global renown \u2013 and a shared love of Los Angeles \u2013 Malta is where the home and heart are for Charles and Ron. They are deeply in love with the Mediterranean lifestyle and spontaneous informality of island life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They tell me of an ever-changing social scene, alongside changing perceptions and a more vocal, younger queer population that\u2019s growing to become much more exciting, progressive and open to ideas and influences.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPeople may think we are Catholic, conservative small-islanders,\u201d says Charles, \u201cbut things have changed a lot. Most people here are \u2018live and let live.\u2019\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He tells me that when he and Ron married, he was terrified about what his aunties would think. It\u2019s impossible to have a secret wedding in a place like Malta and, shuddering at the risk of the repercussions of not having them at his celebrations, he invited them. No questions were asked, they showed up and were the life and soul of the party.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThings have moved very fast,\u201d adds Ron. \u201cThe government caught up with the rest of the EU and there are people working hard here to fight for the rights of our community. We may be island folk, but we are forward looking and well-travelled islanders. And for the longest time, the rest of the world has influenced us. So, it\u2019s no wonder that global trends spread like wildfire in Malta. I think that\u2019s a very good thing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone I\u2019ve met here \u2013 OutThere or otherwise \u2013 speaks fondly of the couple and with a sense of familiarity (which is probably not that hard on a small island). Judging by the fact they are very much the centre of the community in Malta and also across the globe (any Maltese person you meet, anywhere in the world, has had their life touched by Charles and Ron, and most will be sporting at least one item of C+R apparel), I feel that there can be no denying the power of their visibility as an unapologetic, queer couple and as visionaries and role models for the community and wider population of the country today. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.charlesandron.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.charlesandron.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Photography by Martin Perry<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The owners of Malta\u2019s glitziest fashion brand Charles and Ron are modest about the part they\u2019ve played in helping the country progress, claiming they\u2019re not really part of the scene.
