  • New deliveries for Prada, Miu Miu, YSL, Bottega Veneta, Selvador Ferragamo, and Dolce & Gabbana Autumn/Winter 2007 have arrived at Villa Moda Shuwaikh.

  • Topshop was forced to destroy hundrads of lemon yellow dungaree dresses and pay thousands of pounds in legal costs, after being accused of copying a dress designed by See by Chloe. Will this encourage fashion houses to strike back at high street copycats?

Venice Sheraton
you know, I'm clueless myself... I've been to Al MAnshar 10 days ago and saw VM's location, they haven't even started the decoration and the interior design. So I don't see it opening anytime soon.. or at least that's what I have noticed.

Where does one go bargain hunting for Comme des Garcons and Ungaro in Kuwait? Do they have like a factory outlet for these brands in Kuwait?

sorry, my slips showing
you can find Comme Des Garcons at Al Oustora at Al Sahab Complex (next to Salhiya Complex) or at Zahra Complex in Salmiya. You will find some of their stuff on sale.

As for Ungaro, it is located at Mariam Complex. Again, not all of it's collection is on sale. So you will only find few pieces.

I don't think there is a factory outlet for these specific brands in Kuwait. Then again, I could be wrong.

hmm.. High End Fashion brands don't have time to sue every single high street shops because they copied this and that .. unless it is an exact relpica of one of their items and if they sell items using their name .. They better sue those big campanies in China for their bootleg version of their products.

Altuzarra or Aquazzura?

That is the question. It took me a whole season to finally tell these two brands apart, and this season, there's no mistake, each brand is now engraved in my fashion database like a personalized Tiffany's pen. And this Resort 2015 season, I'm head over heels with their flats, on display now at AlOthman Boutique . Altuzarra's version comes in a tonal-gray water snake and are decorated with beige shells, red beads and silver sequins. Aquazzura's lace-up sandals come in a beautiful shade of apple green, and will work with white or bright colored casual summer outfit.  After much thought and sole-searching, I have decided to go for the  Altuzarra   sandals. They're safely stored in my closet, waiting for the dust and the cold to go away.  Which pair would you go for?

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...

My Birkin... My Pride & Joy

Birkin ... Birkin .. Birkin ... you mesmerize me.. I'm so addicted to yoooooou . sitting galmorously in my closet is my hard earned blue Hermes Birkin Bag. To own it is like the ultimate fashionista dream. I look at it lovingly and think to myself " daaaamn ! you are one hell of a lucky girl! I shall protect you from the evil eye 'till the day I die ". My friend asked me once why am I so obsessed with my Birkin . I can list 100 reasons why. But just to be short & sweet, it's exclusive, expensive ( I saw a Birkin in vogue with diamonds on it's hardware. How much do you think it costs? ), it's hand crafted , it takes 2 whole weeks of dedication to produce one, and it's THE bag everyone in the fashion world admires. During a recent visit to The Comfort Shoe at Mariam Complex , I came across a Birkin look alike ( shown in the pictures above ). I have to admit, from afar the bag actually looked good. So I went in to check it out. And THANK GO...
