Here.. There.. and Everywhere..

  • Kudos to all the super stylish ladies I saw at AUK’s Comedy Show last night. I almost pulled a Kuwaiti version of the Sartorialist.
  • Gaaaasp! Am I really in Kuwait?! How often do we Kuwaiti Fashionistas get the chance to meet a well known international designer such as Behnaz Sarafpour in flesh and blood in our home town, aaaand at our (my) favorite shopping destination in Kuwait?! Behnaz will be at Al Othman Thursday, April 16 from 11am till 1pm.


  • GCC Fashion Invasion? I LOVE seeing people from this region getting involved and excelling in one of the toughest retail industries around, fashion. Saudi Designer Ghada Al Rashid completed a double Masters in international Marketing and Business before studying at London College of Fashion and now she has her own label, GHADAH Couture, of evening gowns which were recently shown at Paris Fashion Week. Ghada was also featured in Vanity Fair Italy March 09 pictured above (Thanks Ansam for the info).

  • Another GCC Fashion icon is Khalid AlQasimi who presented his creations of men and women's wear at London Fashion week. His label, Qasimi, exude opulence and attention to detail. I couldn’t find his profile on his website, but according to the e-mail I have received, Al Qasimi is from Sharga, UAE.

AnonymousYour best bet is to send him an e-mail by visiting his website and see where his stockists are.

Bahrain fashionYou should come here.. it would be an unforgetable experience.

AnonymousYes. www.hermes.com. But dont expect to buy a kelly or a birkin online!

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...
