Event: Ramadan Collection at Al Sabah Art & Design‏

Zoran Dobric, a Serbian born designer based in Toronto, Canada, is launching his caftan collection for the first time in the Middle East on August 18 at the ‘I Love Souk’ store. The collection features hand-painted clothes by the designer and a line of caftans designed exclusively for the ‘I Love Souk’ store.

Dobric has been educated at Europe’s leading fashion design school, Instituto Marangoni in Milan. His designs are currently available in Canada, USA and China. Zoran Dobric’s designs are unique and artistic. The main focus of the collection is fabric as an art form. The fabrics are hand created by painting, screen-printing, shibori pleating, batiking, appliqué and hand embroidery.

Coinciding with the launch by Zoran Dobric is the Sheikh Majed Al Sabah’s own collection of the traditional Abaya. Sheikh Majed is launching a collection called ‘3 baya’ for her, a selection of modernized caftans and traditional women’s perfumes.

Both the Zoran Dobric and ‘3baya’ collections are available at the Al Sabah Art and Design Gallery located adjacent to the Al Corniche Club on Arabian Gulf Road, Shaab. This exhibition is open to the public from Tuesday August 18, 2009 at noon.

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?

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.
