Apart from Manish Arora, Ritu Kumar and Falguni Peacock what other Indian designers get to strut their stuff in this country through the Villa Moda vehicle? Does VM already carry the Abou Jani - Sandeep Khosla and the Anita Dongre labels ?

Commenting here I feel like I just entered the ladies room by mistake , but I really admire how you're blogging about your passion. I used to have such a blog that talked about only one thing, and I would really like to see that more between the kuwaiti bloggers instead of just making posts about their individual lives.

Keep up the good work and don't give up ;P

As far as I know, these are the only indian designers who sell their collection at Villa Moda. But actually, there are a couple of stores in Kuwait which sell high quality clothes designed by really creative indian designers.

Welcome to my blog ;)

It was very time consuming. I had to keep updated on everything, and things happen by the hour in football. If I don't post something in a couple of days, anything i write would be considered already old. Plus with work, I really did not have the time. I had alot of readers from different countries, and I reached 25,000 hits in a few months, but throof khasa I guess.

Actually, there are several points of sale for Indian designer Tarun Tahiliani in Kuwait. It is another matter however that Aish looked positively hideous in a Tahiliani gown at the IIFA film awards do in Europe.

25,000 hits! wow! very impressive. you're right, maintaining a blog is not something easy to do but at least it's something bloggers enjoy doing.

watch that hemline

Oh I enjoyed it very much.. Sometimes I think of getting back to blogging, but I always realize that I won't have the time for it.

Well, of course, I can share the URL with you. Aish's garbage bag attire can be visited at www.taruntahiliani.com - just click on who's wearing TT (Aish appears the female in black on the far right of your screen). It's as though Tahiliani Baba had in mind a kids Halloween party while designing never mind if most Bollywood celebs are only juvenile adults but that's beside the point.

Hmm.. actually, the design of Aish's black dress was not THAT bad, it's the fabric that made i look a little bit on the trashy side. Who's your fave indian designer?

My fave Indian designer for all seasons is Shahab Durazi for men and Leena Tipnis for women (Rina Dhaka comes a close second).

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
