Seeing Doubles

Zara is having fun this season by taking inspirations from the most coveted shoes of Spring runways (more like copying). Take your pick from Zara/Balmain-ish punk-rock studded and blinged sandals, Zara/LV-ish tribal embossed snake-skin sandals, and Zara/Chloé-ish futuristic modern sandals in cobalt blue shiny leather (from last season's collections). All shoes are under KD 40.

First show looks interesting, perhaps a bit too much yet a push toward things more interesting.

Copy/ Paste....

I know some people who work at Zara's head company, and they told me about the company's approach towards design. Because they produce clothes all year long, and have a strategy to showcase new clothes almost every week, whenever they see popular designs and trends by big fashion houses (eg. Gucci, LV, Balenciaga, Bottega Veneta...) or whatever will be trendy in the next 6 months, they produce exact almost identical replicas of the same thing. Often having to hold a picture of "the original design"to make sure it looks the same.

And that is what the Zara business is solely based on.

The interesting thing is why has no one sued them yet?

To Anonymous,

The reason no one sued them is because the Zara designs are ot exact replicas but rather feature strong similarities in design, plus they do not copy "copy-written" designs.

wore to the "He's not that into you" premiere with the gorgeoues green dress!

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?

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...

To New Beginnings...

"What did this Corona crisis teach you?" my friend asked. My first thought was thing crisis has opened my eyes on the simple pleasures of life. My priorities have changed. And I feel every day is a new beginning. First of all, it made me realize how much I miss blogging. How simple and mentally satisfying it was to jolt down my thoughts on a field that I was very passionate about. I have to admit that I'm not as passionate now. Don't get me wrong, I still like fashion, but it's now on the bottom of my priorities list. I would like to blog about other things too that I feel much related to. I recently discovered that I do enjoy cooking. For the longest time, cooking to me was a nightmare.  This corona crisis has taught us that we can look forward to a new day with new possibilities to contribute or to help another, or to simply approach things differently, and most importantly to make the most of each day we have and share that goodness with others.
