Event: Youssef Nabil Photos Exhibition


I Had to look twice to believe that the women shown on the photo above is Egyptian actress Laila Elwy. I have never seen her in my life looking as refined as she did in this photo (refined but not mind-blowingly stylish and chic, BIG difference). The photo would have been perfect had there not been the cheap diamante tie-look-alike necklace. The "Madonna-ish" photo is the creative work of world renowned acclaimed Egyptian artist, Youssef Nabil.

If you liked Laila's photo, then you ought to check out the photographs featured in Youssef Nabil's website. I was truly amazed! His work is Suggestively beautiful with an old-fashioned twist. Better yet, go check out his solo exhibition currently running until May 22nd at Sultan Gallery.

Sultan Gallery is located at South Sabhan, Block 8, Street 105, Building 168. For further information, please call (+965) 471-4325.

That particular photo of Laila is a dead ringer for a series of photos shot by Helmut Newton in the late 70's- the theme is boy meets girl, girl meets boy- very Garboesque. Nothing new or inventive; nice photo though


I beg to differ about the photo being subjected as Madonna-ish , while art is supposed to be objective Madonna acquired this look for her Vogue idea adapting from film noir ( back to Garbo followed by Newton)

I see this guy doing creative fashion advertising campaigns, nostalgia fashion shoots - nothing more.

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.
