I Love VM But The Designer Doesn't!


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.

Truth be told the invite ain't that bad!
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.

not only is the invitation ugly (the picture of course - not the concept), but it looks like it was done by an amateur in a rush. We've all seen MUCH cooler traditional kuwaiti pics of mbarkiya, etc, that they could've used. Where they thinking something ugly would catch more people's attention? Or maybe I'm overanalyzing now hehe

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

fourme
I couldn't agree more.

dee
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.

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?

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.
