The Lucky Dress


I have heard of the "it" bag, and the "it" shoes, but this season the fashion industry came up with a thing called the "it" dress. But of course, it's the type of dress that apparently flatters all body shapes and has been donned by several celebrities such as Scarlett Johansson (shown here in her black version of the dress), Kiera Knightly, Madonna, and Kirstin Davis in one of her SATC movie scenes (it was a red dress). And it's called The "Lucky Dress" by Issa.

When I first saw it, I wasn't too impressed. But after giving it a thorough look, it became interesting. It has that vintage look and feel to it and best of all it can be dressed up with platform heels and long strands of pearl necklaces, or dressed down with a pair flats, a hobo bag, and stacked bracelets.

The summer version of the dress is currently sold out around the world. However, there will be 3 different colors versions of the dress for the Autumn/Winter collection, and I bet there is already a month long waiting list to get it.

Fashion have always had a love affair with a particular item labeled as 'the little black dress' the term 'it dress' resurfaced with the superb utter Galaxy dress. Normally the 'it' does wonders for sales but soars amongst those in the industry; the transformation was noticed with the rocketing popularity of Chloe's Paddy, while the bag is lovely in its buttery soft leather and trademark padlock its abundance made some tweak. In general, 'it' means mass production+the equivalence of being available to the general public. Saw the dress in Vogue, cute – not bad … could have been knee length though to balance out the mesh back.

it is cute but that is about it. Issa is lucky as her celebrity friends wear her clothes and get shot all the time. I do love her stuff but some of it is totally overrated...........like this one maybe

Glamorous Evening

I'm a wee bit late with my Dubai posts, which I have visited during the Eid holiday, as I've been quite busy lately with some side projects. There is just not enough time to get everything done, need to work on my time management skills. Oh well, you know what they say, better late than never. So in this post I'll be sharing with you some few evening gowns and cocktail dresses which took my breath away, three of which I've spotted at Symphony Boutique located at Dubai Mall. Check out this glamorous Zac Posen (if my memory serves me right) strapless gown shown in the photo above, I know that Zac Posen is stocked in AlOthman boutique as well, not sure if they have this one in stock. Symphony also had this extravagant red gown with puff embroidered sleeves on the window display also by Zac Posen . And while shopping around Bloomingdale's Dubai , I spotted this block-colored cocktail dress which looked very familiar and then when I read the brand's name

Delicate Armour

Raised in Dubai and living between London and the UAE, Central Saint Martins graduate, Delia Covezzi , has been quietly cultivating her reputation as a talented clothing and accessory designer. Following successful apprenticeships with Stella McCartney and Tata Naka, she went on to design and produce exclusive collections for a range of top boutiques in Europe and the Middle East. I took a look at Covezzi's S/S 2010 collection and immediately noticed the mix of contrasting elements of her pieces. Sharp tailoring in hues of silver and dove grey, and classic black and white, with a hint of bold coral hues and delicate graphic prints, from soft French chiffons to crisp Italian organza; from textured pearl satins to finely-ribbed silk twills; adding an edge to the feminine yet bold look. According to Delia , the S/S 2010 collection draws inspiration from the visual and structural similarities between armour and bird’s plumage. Delia’s fascination of how something so strong and st
