Creative Corporates

I'm loving what i'm seeing lately. Companies and retailers in Kuwait are thinking outside the box and moving away from the "scratch & win" strategy and coming up with innovative marketing stratigies by involving the community and consumers through culutral and artistic competitions and challanges. Examples:
  • TopShop is offering a competition where clients can design a mural that will be displayed in TopShop stores throughout the Middle East. 1 winner to be chosen by the TopShop UK Team and he/she will receive vouchers worth KD 500 and will get to travel to all flagship stores in this region to implement their winning design. Click here.

  • IKEA is giving the opportunity to talented Kuwaiti interior designers to display their work and creations at IKEA showroom during their Kuwaiti Talent Week from 16th to 23rd April.

  • Al Othman Boutique is giving their readers and clients the chance to ask their favorite designers any question they wish to inquire in their "Chit Chat" online segment.

  • And remember my post about Al Ahli Bank of Kuwait offering a client and a friend the chance to attend Vivienne Westwood's London Fashion Week show. The lucky winner got to stay at Claridges Hotel, a five star, deluxe, luxury hotel located in Mayfair.

Way to go! And hope to see more companies and retailers in Kuwait and the region following this trend.

I was wondering if you knew of any events that were taking place for Kuwait Talent Week? and where they would be located, or who I could contact? Thank you.

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...

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...
