Glam Your Evening

There are girls who start a “one-season-fashion-line” just because, and then there are girls who start a FASHION LINE with passion. Jenan Al-Fares is a Kuwaiti designer with a penchant for color, a ton of energy, and no shortage of creativity. She’s not new to the local fashion scene that’s for sure. In the past years, she has launched her line Jenan, hosted many exhibitions, and has her own showroom. And I admit, I haven’t been to any of them, but I have seen a few notable pieces on my friends. But today, thanks to the new-age of marketing using the facebook, I was able to view her latest glamorous eveningwear collection online. Mind you, I didn’t inspect the gowns up-close and personal but from what I’ve seen in the photos, I was completely impressed. There seems to be attention to detail and I loved how she added unexpected soft ruffles and ruching to the designs. In brief, the collection had a slightly 80’s/40’s feel, peppered with flirty details. Here are some of my favorite designs.

Jenan showroom is located in Jabrya block 1a, Street 6, bldg 24, first floor. You can contact Jenan at (+965) 66128238 or send an e-mail to jenanalfaris@gmail.com.

Well, i'm gonna go completely blunt regarding what I saw..
I've purchased before custom made items and garments and dresses made by kuwaiti designers but i was utterly dissapointed by what I saw 2day ..
the finishing was terrible , the sewing mark were all over and the fabrics were abused !
I'm sorry jenan u've got really good idea's but not the cleanest finish..
But the pictures sure look more amazing than the real thing..

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
