Spectacular Sarah

I'm proud to be showcasing some of the top emerging names in the fashion industry in the Middle East. And today's new and inspiring creative talent is from the lovely Lebanon. Recently graduated from Parsons the New School of Design in New York with a Fashion Design degree, ASK alumni and Lebanese designer Sarah Hermez is my latest talent discovery from our region. Sarah has interned with Issey Miyake, Stephanie Coudert, and Rabih Keyrouz. And according to my sources, one of her dresses has been actually displayed in Saks Fifth Avenue. How cool is that!?

Featured here are some of her spectacular spring/summer Parsons thesis collection inspired by African masai warriors and their extraordinary use of color, massive beaded necklaces. Her collection was also experimenting with texture through knitting multicolor strips of chiffon, organza, silk, and the creation of hand-painted prints. A fun and bright collection that adds an enviously jolt of vibrant hues to any wardrobe.

My favorite Lebanese designer would have to be Ronald.

I think the beauty of fashion design is that you can let your creativity extend to infinity without geographical or origins boundaries.. so I see nothing wrong with her designs being inspired by a different culture. Just like what Riccardo Tisci did to the Givenchy couture show, several of his designs were inspired by the Middle eastern culture and the biggest international fashion portals praised him for such creativity...

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...

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.
