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.




To contact Sarah Hermez, please send an e-mail to sarahermez@gmail.com.

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...

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
