That's Haute!!

Impeccable fitting, ladylike elegance, gorgeous colors, incredible draping, deconstructed shapes, floral frocks, outstanding origami details, and over-the-top bubble shaped dresses are just a few words to describe Paris Haute Couture Spring 2008 Collections. Most shows were simply genius works of art. Some were beautiful on the runway but wouldn't dare to wear them in real-life. But overall, the couture shows were absolutely divine. Armani Privé was pure perfection and my fave with its edgy uptown girl meets high drama polished femininity.

Below are my top picks from Paris Haute Couture Spring 2008 Collections, you know, just in case I get invited to a wedding or a formal dinner or have to go to baby reception, my people will contact Armani's people to make the required arrangements.. now where's the measurement tape... and my mom's credit card..

Let's Start with Armani Privé...




And next, let's have a look at one of the dresses which i really liked from the Dior collection, which I think is wearable if you're skinny thin and fairly tall...

The following are some of the nicest pieces shown at Valentino show..




And finally I totally fell in love with this breathtaking white cocktail dress from Givenchy..

Don't mean to interfer but why sell it?! I say keep it! It could be a collector's item. Maybe with few alterations you could wear it again? Or maybe give it to a close family member?

Anyhoo... It's your choice at the end ;) Well, You can tryy contacting Madame La Reine. They resell designer goods on your behalf. Check out this post for further details:

Pink, i took some of my mothers Dior Couture dresses from the 70s and 80s and they readjusted them for me making them wearable today. These pieces are truly timeless u should keep them wallah especially since Ferre died this year.
Get in touch with Alex on the
(http://the-polyglot.blogspot.com)he knows the industry inside out. Dior might be interested in buying it back if its an important piece & in Paris their are specialized vintage couture shops that would be interested and know the value of such a dress.

Confashion, did yo see Versace's spring couture pieces? Even though i am not a Versace fan but i was soo impressed, they are truly stunning dresses. I bet we shall see some in the Oscars. Oh and check out Stephane Rolland he is one of my favorites as well.

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.
