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perhaps a dash of paisley chiffon peaking though or just do you your own thing (a pin or two, who cares if they are out of date, one's personal style should be indefinite)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...

Chanel Bags on Discount?!

If you thought that getting a cheap Chanel bag that's within your budget is something too far fetched, then think again. You'll be surprised to know that Chanel's boutique located at Salhiya Complex is currently selling several bags, that are a maximum 1 or 2 seasons old, on discount . And we're not talking about a 2 or 5% discount here, these bags are 50% off their original price! For some reason I always thought that Chanel bags never go on sale. But I guess the printed ones or the ones that are made out of the collection's main fabric have to go on sale. Anyways, I managed to take photos of these 2 beauties. What I love about those bags is that they're a classic shape that never goes out of style, their print is young and refreshing, plus they're quilted. I think they could be a collector's item. Both bags featured here are sold for approximately KD 250 .
