Event: Essa's Trunk Show At Villa Moda

On the subject of Essa, last Friday Villa Moda held a trunk show for the brand previewing their clients with a celebration of a collection based on the holy month of Ramadan. It was a private event for VIP ladies only. The accessories used in the event are from the brands carried at Villa Moda. The Essa's pieces are now on display for the public. Here's a sneak peak of the event.

The trunk show looked nice, the store looks great actually.

But aesthetically, Essa has a lot to prove.
Another Middle Easter designer who cannot think outside the box. But hey, there are many clients in the Middle East who appreciate it. So good for him in that respect.

But I do get offended when a Middle Eastern designer is only thought of as good or credible because they're only compared to other Middle Eastern designer and not the rest of the world. And let me remind those people, that the Middle East is part of THE WORLD.

I totally agree with AZM, Middle Eastern designers should be compared with international designers, not only fellow Middle Easterners. But I still think that Essa is innovative and creative. His designs being sold in such a prestigious department store like Villa Moda, partly proves that he is good.

Saks In Bahrain

I went to Saks Fifth Avenue store in Bahrain. The two-level store is located in City Centre Mall and has a collection of American and international clothes designers for Men and Women as well as jewelry, accessories, handbags, fragrances, cosmetics, intimate apparel, bridal, and children's apparel. However, I was slightly disappointed by the small selection, maybe because all items were on sale? Or the number and variety of brands were limited? Anyhow, my favourite section at Saks - Bahrain was Saks's world-famous 10022-SHOE salon (shown in the photo below). It had the same look & feel of the NY's shoe salon but of course not the same space. The Shoe Salon had really nice selection and they were all on sale! I have been told by Saks Sales Assistant that they will be hosting numerous special events throughout the year such as fashion shows and personal appearances by designers. Now that's something I'd be interested in! In addition, they currently offer in-st
