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.

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).

Miu Miu Pays Tribute to the Middle East

Everyone who knows me, knows that I have a soft spot for bag charms. They're fun, cute, and add a dose of irresistible character to your plain handbag. So when I got the news about Miu Miu paying tribute to the Middle Eastern culture by presenting an exclusive playful yet multifunctional accessories in luxurious precious skin, I got excited intrigued. The round-shaped charms has the Arabic alphabet, each piece presenting a letter design with metallic hues and vibrant colors. They're cute, nothing groundbreaking. I'm not sure if these bags charms would step up my bag charms game, but I guess it depends on their price tag and how "exclusively" exclusive they are. Maybe they'll grow on me? I don't know... What do you think? The charms should be available exclusively in  Miu Miu   Boutiques throughout our region.

Magical Mode

As anyone who regularly reads Confashions may know, there are some designers I’ve been obsessed with for quite some time: one is the genius Erdem , the other is Nicholas Kirkwood , and Pierre Hardy . And because their designs are somehow easily accessible online and offline, I had the pleasure of featuring some of their creations and showing them the love they deserve. That said, there is one designer I’ve been particularly smitten with for quite some time. He has always been on the top of my favorite designers list ever since I was introduced to his designs by my fabulous fellow fashionisto Adnan Z Manjal   a couple of years back : Saudi designer Mohammed Ashi . I always wished I featured him more. I couldn’t because his pieces are very exclusive and as far as I know not stocked anywhere here. This clearly isn't just another post on my obvious love for Mohammed Ashi’s designs or the quality of his clothes as I have done that previously. Ashi simply deserves his very own epic p...

To New Beginnings...

"What did this Corona crisis teach you?" my friend asked. My first thought was thing crisis has opened my eyes on the simple pleasures of life. My priorities have changed. And I feel every day is a new beginning. First of all, it made me realize how much I miss blogging. How simple and mentally satisfying it was to jolt down my thoughts on a field that I was very passionate about. I have to admit that I'm not as passionate now. Don't get me wrong, I still like fashion, but it's now on the bottom of my priorities list. I would like to blog about other things too that I feel much related to. I recently discovered that I do enjoy cooking. For the longest time, cooking to me was a nightmare.  This corona crisis has taught us that we can look forward to a new day with new possibilities to contribute or to help another, or to simply approach things differently, and most importantly to make the most of each day we have and share that goodness with others.
