Paris In New York

Even though I like GAP for its very casual and very practical clothes, I don't usually look at its window display, but this time, it immidietaly caught my attention on 5th Avenue.

The GAP, currently celebrating its 40th anniversary, has partnered with the celebrated Paris concept boutique Merci to curate a special month long concept store that was open from September 10th to October 4th. The Merci GAP store had a selection of vintage clothes and accessories. Also a small selection of specially designed & limitied edition jeans and t-shirts. I was so thrilled by this pop-up shop and managed to buy a couple of limited addition t-shirts and some vintage accessories. And according to the sales assistant, proceeds of the items sold will be donated to charities of Merci's choice. I even felt better about my purchases.

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...
