Today I have received an invitation from Villa Moda to attend a special traditional Kuwaiti ceremony in honor of the opening of the new Villa Moda Almanshar, which will be held on Sunday 6th April 2008 at Almanshar Mall, Fahaheel around 8:00 PM.
I praise Villa Moda for their approach of hosting an event with a traditional Kuwaiti theme. I loved the concept of having a traditional Kuwaiti dance (Samri and Nagazzi) and requesting invitees to dress in traditional Kuwaiti attire: women in darra'as and men in dishadeesh. It would be very interesting to see who had the best looking daraa'a on.
However, I have 5 words to the person who designed the invitation shown above: "Seriously. What were you thinking?!!". Whoever came up with the invitation design needs to be punished! OK, that's a harsh word, so let's just say: he should be held responsible if anything goes wrong during the event, even if it's not related to design! Sounds fair to me. (Sorry VM guys, I love you all! but the truth needs to be told).
Anyways, this is an event I will make sure to go to as it sounds fun and will surely break our not-so-exciting weekly routines.

It's got a certain Souky feel to it which is just as well since this one's modeled on a traditional Souk and I am imagining Souk Moubarakiya in its heyday in the mid 70s and early 80s. The downside is the designer's been reading into a chhabra.
I'm a VM lover but that design is just simply BAD..
Will do ;)

It was sent out in an A4 paper.. And the "I heart VM" is slightly Redundant...

I couldn't agree more.

I also felt that the picture did not fit in with the whole concept. I have nothing against the guy featured in the photo!

It's not about the guy in the picture, the invitation was printed on an A4 paper and on one side has the details of the invite and the other side is where the design was shown.
its a cool invite, a cool kuwaiti dude and thats all you need to create a shocking contrast...
