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.

Miu Miu Pays Tribute to the Middle East

Everyone who knows me, knows that I have a soft spot for bag charms. They're fun, cute, and add a dose of irresistible character to your plain handbag. So when I got the news about Miu Miu paying tribute to the Middle Eastern culture by presenting an exclusive playful yet multifunctional accessories in luxurious precious skin, I got excited intrigued. The round-shaped charms has the Arabic alphabet, each piece presenting a letter design with metallic hues and vibrant colors. They're cute, nothing groundbreaking. I'm not sure if these bags charms would step up my bag charms game, but I guess it depends on their price tag and how "exclusively" exclusive they are. Maybe they'll grow on me? I don't know... What do you think? The charms should be available exclusively in  Miu Miu   Boutiques throughout our region.

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.
