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.

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.
