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.

Amazing Alia

Several months ago I posted about Alia Designs , a Kuwaiti talented designer of traditional clothes and dresses. Back then, I liked one of the items featured on her website. This time I'm going ga-ga over her latest Ramadan collection of Kaftans and darraa'at! Especially the one shown here on the first picture. Looks very young, comfortable, and oh-so-perfect for after futoor! For inquiries please visit the website or call (+965) 642-7400.
