CCF: Channeling The Chanel

Spotted. 3 different takes of the cropped boucle jacket with a boxy shape and frayed edges a la Chanel style at Zara for KD 39.500. I see incarnations of Chanel's most coveted item, the tweed jacket, almost every season at different retailers because they sell like hot cakes and not every one can afford to buy the real deal. Another Credit Crunch Friendly item for sure. Wear it with pearl necklaces and a quilited bag and you’re good to go.

I love them all and they remind me of Sex and the City's Bunny MacDougal and when she said,"Don't ruffle me out. this is Chanel!"

I know I'm kind of pushing when I say this, but Zara and Topshop are so often frequented that people tend to know their pieces so for example when you wear something from Zara people often know it’s Zara. I want to push and challenge your fashionista skills and steer you away from the obvious choices especially since there's a whole world of stores now that are open that don’t have to axe your wallet.

Examples:

Reiss
Twist
Patricia Pepe
Designer’s Lounge
American Retro
DKNY
By Malene De Birger
Coco Ribbon
What I like about these stores is that there’s only ONE of each of them in Kuwait and I believe they are all less frequented than Zara and Topshop so as a customer you get more of a feeling of exclusivity when making a purchase.

Those to me look like homespun creations that might just as easily have come from Oxfam.

No one does Chanel like Chanel, and no one should attempt to.

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...
