Little Miss Lanvin


You probably know by now that Alber Elbaz created six Miss Lanvin porcelain hand painted dolls with Taiwanese ceramics company Franz. The series of dolls from Lanvin feature seven silhouettes from the S/S 08 Lanvin collection as well as the bridal capsule collection. Each of these cute little dolls are produced in a limited series of 800, numbered and signed.

Miniature Dolls by Lanvin will be available at Browns Fashion (you need to add your name to their waiting list daaahling). However you can get them now at Villa Moda Bahrain AND they're on 50% discount. HOWEVER, the price tag of these cute dolls is not cute at all. It is retailed at BD 400. And that's the AFTER sale price.

Well, Anonymous, that because you're a girl...
I on the other hand, want these dolls, actually need these dolls. PRice tag is ridiculos, even more ridiculous than the other fabulous toy, Karl Lagerfeld bear.

And let's face it, buying on of these Lanvin dolls is NOT ENOUGH!

azm: eew the karl lagerfeld bear? seriously? Karl would jump on anything to make more money, he basically turned Chanel into Gucci! and btw, i saw these in Roma 2 years ago and they were on sale even then!! ...someone sells old news (villa moda bahrain not confash (who i love, always)) :)

WEEEEEEEELL

Those dolls are the closest thing to actuall Lanvin dresses. As in, I have no reason to buy a Lanvin dress, EVER, but those dolls are pieces of art for me.
Alber Elbaz is a genuis, the most exciting designer since Gianni Versace for women.

And you're right miss ghesquiere, about Karl making money...
But still, he's an icon figuritively.
Just like Marc Jacobs is a fashion icon or Anna Wintour or Grace Jones...

On a different note, miss ghesquiere, don't just hate how great Balenciaga is for women, and awfull and boring it is for men?!

what does the price come to in $? I say if you have the extra money why not..I personally think they are gorgeous pieces of art and they are sure to become a collector's item. I love them because they kind of look like the s/s 08 ads which I thought were amazing.
As far as Karl, it's not just him, unfortunately this is what the fashion/luxury industry has come down to. They care about the bottom line, which translates in the democratization of luxury, which in itself is an oxymoron.
As for Balenciaga, couldn't agree more the men's line is as boring as the Dior women's line, and the women's is as genius as Dior Homme circa Hedi Slimane.

Magical Mode

As anyone who regularly reads Confashions may know, there are some designers I’ve been obsessed with for quite some time: one is the genius Erdem , the other is Nicholas Kirkwood , and Pierre Hardy . And because their designs are somehow easily accessible online and offline, I had the pleasure of featuring some of their creations and showing them the love they deserve. That said, there is one designer I’ve been particularly smitten with for quite some time. He has always been on the top of my favorite designers list ever since I was introduced to his designs by my fabulous fellow fashionisto Adnan Z Manjal   a couple of years back : Saudi designer Mohammed Ashi . I always wished I featured him more. I couldn’t because his pieces are very exclusive and as far as I know not stocked anywhere here. This clearly isn't just another post on my obvious love for Mohammed Ashi’s designs or the quality of his clothes as I have done that previously. Ashi simply deserves his very own epic p...

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?

My Birkin... My Pride & Joy

Birkin ... Birkin .. Birkin ... you mesmerize me.. I'm so addicted to yoooooou . sitting galmorously in my closet is my hard earned blue Hermes Birkin Bag. To own it is like the ultimate fashionista dream. I look at it lovingly and think to myself " daaaamn ! you are one hell of a lucky girl! I shall protect you from the evil eye 'till the day I die ". My friend asked me once why am I so obsessed with my Birkin . I can list 100 reasons why. But just to be short & sweet, it's exclusive, expensive ( I saw a Birkin in vogue with diamonds on it's hardware. How much do you think it costs? ), it's hand crafted , it takes 2 whole weeks of dedication to produce one, and it's THE bag everyone in the fashion world admires. During a recent visit to The Comfort Shoe at Mariam Complex , I came across a Birkin look alike ( shown in the pictures above ). I have to admit, from afar the bag actually looked good. So I went in to check it out. And THANK GO...
