Fashion & Unfashion news



  • Pink will have a live concert in Dubai on September 5th, 2007? The concert will be held at Dubai Media City. Unfashionable news? I know but felt like mentioning it.

  • I know this is old news for most of you, but I'm going to post it anyways: Villa Moda Shuwaikh and Gucci Al Fanar are having 50% sale. Look for fall investment pieces.

  • BCBG are having their sale too. It doesn't hurt to buy a thing or two, does it?

  • US restaurant chain Hooters, renowned for its revealingly dressed waitresses, could open its first of three outlets in Dubai by the end of the year. A Kuwaiti investor, with franchise rights to Hooters in Dubai, has announced this in UAE's Media. Classy?

In response to the potential opening of Hooters in Dubai I can't help but think... what's the big deal? Prostitution is rampant in Dubai and its not like youré going to see anything you don't usually see in Dubai! :)

True and I coun't agree more. But I'm looking at it in a different view.. like I wouldn't want to be known for owning or running such business.. I want to be known for something classier..

When I was in the states I unfortunately was a patron of hooters once... by the way the girls aren't that pretty... the food was great though. Hooters opening in Dubai is a confirmation of our deterioration in terms of morals and values blah blah blah... then again how successful would a restaurant be where all waitresses dressed in abayas and niqabs... wait a minute... that might just work... if you think about it most ladies that wear abayas and niqabs nowadays have managed to twist this once conservative fashion element into one projecting a sexy image... come on ladies you know what I mean... so confashion... let's start a business and call it "VEILED" where all the waitresses are dressed in abayas and niqabs... it might just do well... especially as us arab man appreciate what is hidden as much as what is exposed :)

That's a shame... ultimately business is about the bottom line and not our ideology or am I incorrect? Correct me if I am wrong :) What type of business would you like to go into? Wait... fashion I assume... :)

As a man I appreciate the requirements we need to meet to stay trendy... However I myself am not a big fashion freak and most of my male counterparts share the same sentiment... Is that bad?

not at all. and as long as you don't wear suspenders, snake skin shoes, colorful rings, washed out jeans, or very worn in shoes. You're on the safe side..

Dubai would indeed make for a most idyllic setting for Hooters in the Middle East, what with the emirate having firmly established itself as the Prada prostitute capital of the world!
There's something else I tell you about Kuwaiti entrepreneurship overseas. A few years back a Kuwaiti businessman made it in the news by bringing Ann Summers into the Mideast and now again, it is a Kuwaiti businessman who'se become the poster boy for Hooters in the Middle East. Atta boys, way to go!Someone Kuwaiti should think about operating Playboy clubs in Dubai now . That will complete the trilogy for Q-wait.
This brings us to the question of why do Kuwaiti entrepreneurs do as well as they do operating outside of Kuwait but not inside the country??
'Fess up.

I wouldn;t be surprised if playboy clubs open by Kuwaiti businessmen. Nothing is impossible these days..

why do Kuwaiti entrepreneurs do as well as they do operating outside of Kuwait but not inside the country? Because there is no future in Kuwait. It's Government & Parliment are unstable. Corruption has prevailed. And people do not respect the law. So why take the risk?

Saks In Bahrain

I went to Saks Fifth Avenue store in Bahrain. The two-level store is located in City Centre Mall and has a collection of American and international clothes designers for Men and Women as well as jewelry, accessories, handbags, fragrances, cosmetics, intimate apparel, bridal, and children's apparel. However, I was slightly disappointed by the small selection, maybe because all items were on sale? Or the number and variety of brands were limited? Anyhow, my favourite section at Saks - Bahrain was Saks's world-famous 10022-SHOE salon (shown in the photo below). It had the same look & feel of the NY's shoe salon but of course not the same space. The Shoe Salon had really nice selection and they were all on sale! I have been told by Saks Sales Assistant that they will be hosting numerous special events throughout the year such as fashion shows and personal appearances by designers. Now that's something I'd be interested in! In addition, they currently offer in-st
