The "Italian Style" Fashion & Design Exhibition

A week ago I had a post about Al Ostoura's "Italian Style" Exhibition. And as promised here are some photos (click on the images to enlarge) and info about the exhibition.

The "Italian Style" exhibition was held at the Al-Thuraya Complex in Salmiya under the auspices of the Italian Ambassador to Kuwait, Giorgio Di Pietrogiacomo.


This exhibition highlighted the deep bond that links art and the fashion industry where creativity and innovation have distinguished the ‘Made in Italy’ for ages. Major creations by the experts of fashion and design were displayed at the exhibition. The main theme was excellence: house decorating and dressing up in luxury Italian brands in a very innovative way. The exhibition displayed famous pieces of furniture from Zanotta, Kartell, Stoppino, Castiglioni Brothers, Colombo, Citerrio, Laviani and Formitalia-Mirabili.




Here are some photos of innovative and very artistic furniture which was displayed at the exhibition. I loved the floor lamp and the big red rose chair. Click on the images to enlarge.

actually this furniture is not for Al-Ostoura it's an exhibition hosted by them for unique designs by famous Italian designers, which was presented to show the evolution that those designers made through out the world.

I have seen the exhibition some of these things were in movies back in the 60s or something, it was a great experience reviewing all those stuff in Kuwait, NONE OF THESE STUFF WERE FOR SALE! it's their identity as I was told from the Italians that were there

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.
