Malvina is the founder and lead reviewer of LadyMal. She spent more than 15 years in the European fashion industry, working for a family-owned fashion house where collections were built from the first sketch to the finished garment, and managing international fashion shows in London, Paris and Copenhagen.
That's where her eye for quality, fabric and craftsmanship comes from — and it's the same eye she now brings to every product she reviews. She's also a mother who trains at the gym three times a week and hikes on weekends, so fitness and activewear get tested on real training sessions and real trails, not in a studio.
Every LadyMal review is based on Malvina's own hands-on use over weeks or months. She buys the products herself, lives with them, and always tells you the honest downsides — because the whole point of the site is to help women decide what's genuinely worth it.
