Some Souk Love

I passed by I Love Souk recently and I even loved it more than I did before. I loved how it looked entirely different with it's bright decor and use of light bulps everywhere. Also, there were a lot of interesting, funny, and new additions since I've last been there.. Here's a sneak peak...

A section of I Love Souk had a small display of previous exhibition: 5.5 Icon meets Icons, which celebrated the world’s most iconic perfume, Chanel No.5. Different artists and designers were commissioned to take Chanel No.5, and reinterpret it in their own style.



The above artistic and colorful scruptures are the creation of artist Mark Dean of Dean Project which also had an exhibition at Al-Sabah Art Gallery recently. And just so you know, pieces shown on the above photo are all sold out.


I loved the concept of these cotton shirts, each shirt is like a brief lesson of Kuwait's history. It givs an insight of mager catastrophies and bad incidents that happened in the past.

Murakami inspired pieces anyone?


My favorite section was the loooong woden table with all kind of accessories. It's my fave only because of the funny comment written on the table next to each item being sold. Very creative indeed!

And last but not least, this chandelleir is also part of Dean Project (And it's sold out already). It looked stunning.

I Love Souk is located on top off Al Sabah Art & Design Gallery, outside Al Corniche Club and to the left of Athletes Foot, Arabian Gulf Road.

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.
