Carolina Herrera was in Kuwait!?!?

Carolina Herrera (the daughter not the designer) was in Kuwait and in the Avenues?!?!?? How come we don't get to know about such events until after they occur! Bummer!

I just found out about it through Al Watan TV tonight. Apparently, the daughter of, er, Carolina Herrera was in Kuwait for the store's official opening CH by Carolina Herrera (I think! or was it a launch of a new perfume?).

haha, how funny she was in Dubai too. Also didn't know about it until the day after she left! How is it that bloggers sit front row at D&G in Milan & yet website owners and bloggers here have no idea when someone like that is in the region!!

The concept of involving bloggers and online portals to press announcements is fairly new to this region I guess, we shouldn’t be surprised. But I can't help it :P

Local bloggers are off limits to entrepreneurs, for starters get their names right, - that was Carolina Adriana; muse and collaborator on the 212 men fragrance. One of the other daughters is based at the NY design office (Patricia Lansing). Prior to inducting the etiquette protocol of interviewing a celebrity/designer/hot shots – arrangements are conducted from their home base; where publicists circle around a hefty net of worthy PR within relation and limited time frame during the stay in each country.

Few international bloggers get invited to such events because apart from the crucial part that they can identify people by their full name, use spell check, also refrain from two words that equal death kisses "it" & "fashionista" – they are also serving the fashion business immensely.

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
