Comme des Garcons For H&M in Kuwait


The Commes des Garçons collection for H&M has finally hit all H&M stores throughout Kuwait. The verdict? The collection of fashion's most avant garde label was, unfortunately, mediocre. Nothing special and some of the black gothic jackets were not available. Plus the material used in most items was too heavy for our weather. There were lots of polka dots and lots of black. Check it out, the collection might appeal to you.

I was never a big fan of "Comme des Garcons" their garments always look 3 sizes too big, to the point where the clothes are wearing YOU, not the other way around. but I'm interested to see what they have created for H&M, I' sure they had to tone it down a bit to make the pieces more wearable.

I think because of the majority of the collection being black and with some polka dots, you just gotta use it to complete a look and nnot build a look around it.

I was expecting better from Comme des Garcon for H&M, and again with the quality, I mean what do you expect when you such prices!
Topshop's quality I believe to be better.

Anyways, I think with CdG for H&M there are basic not so bad pieces, I like the black short shirwal for women... And the polk dots shirt for men.
But again, they're nothing to go to clound no. 9 over....

C.d.G has that special appeal that only few successful ones manage to be lured into,-it's extremely artistic with surreal visions, believe or not they do have fans and many faithful followers. Here is the deal: usually the head office in Sweden and the purchasing team collaborate on selecting pieces that are more suitable for the Gulf weather.

Now regarding other issues black is a forever staple, one seams to simply can't get enough (cough-cough) This is one of the most versatile shades that exists, dress it up or down, punch up the color with a pop art scarf, perhaps a dash of paisley chiffon peaking though or just do you your own thing (a pin or two, who cares if they are out of date, one's personal style should be indefinite)

As for quality, folks this is H&M, what do you expect—top trend for a bargain that will last you a wash or two (kidding, but if you hand wash instead of machine their garments last longer)

This blouse was sold out after 2 days of the collection launch. But believe me, up close, it doesn't look as nice as it does in photos...

Saks In Bahrain

I went to Saks Fifth Avenue store in Bahrain. The two-level store is located in City Centre Mall and has a collection of American and international clothes designers for Men and Women as well as jewelry, accessories, handbags, fragrances, cosmetics, intimate apparel, bridal, and children's apparel. However, I was slightly disappointed by the small selection, maybe because all items were on sale? Or the number and variety of brands were limited? Anyhow, my favourite section at Saks - Bahrain was Saks's world-famous 10022-SHOE salon (shown in the photo below). It had the same look & feel of the NY's shoe salon but of course not the same space. The Shoe Salon had really nice selection and they were all on sale! I have been told by Saks Sales Assistant that they will be hosting numerous special events throughout the year such as fashion shows and personal appearances by designers. Now that's something I'd be interested in! In addition, they currently offer in-st
