Show me your Cash

When it comes to t-shirts with a twist, local brand CASHART is the one to know. CASHART differentiates itself from other brands by applying a unique concept: Intricate, colorful illustrations taken from currencies are imprinted onto each garment in honor of the beauty and creativity of “cash’s art”.  In a couple of years, designer Alia Al-Naqeeb’s casual cool  yet very affordable spin on the wardrobe classic has attracted a big fan base in this region.
CASHART founder and Kuwaiti designer Alia Al-Naqeeb received her bachelors degree in Graphic Design from AIU London. Alia has always been inspired by fashion, and launched CASHART as a result of her love for graphic design and fashion design.
You can shop for CASHART online through their “etsy” boutique here. And take a look at their "Behind the Scenes" Video of CASHART Photoshoot 2010 here.

Very cool tops. I also love the photo shoot. It looks very professional. I wonder where they did it?? It doesn't look like it was done in Kuwait.

Miu Miu Pays Tribute to the Middle East

Everyone who knows me, knows that I have a soft spot for bag charms. They're fun, cute, and add a dose of irresistible character to your plain handbag. So when I got the news about Miu Miu paying tribute to the Middle Eastern culture by presenting an exclusive playful yet multifunctional accessories in luxurious precious skin, I got excited intrigued. The round-shaped charms has the Arabic alphabet, each piece presenting a letter design with metallic hues and vibrant colors. They're cute, nothing groundbreaking. I'm not sure if these bags charms would step up my bag charms game, but I guess it depends on their price tag and how "exclusively" exclusive they are. Maybe they'll grow on me? I don't know... What do you think? The charms should be available exclusively in  Miu Miu   Boutiques throughout our region.

Amazing Alia

Several months ago I posted about Alia Designs , a Kuwaiti talented designer of traditional clothes and dresses. Back then, I liked one of the items featured on her website. This time I'm going ga-ga over her latest Ramadan collection of Kaftans and darraa'at! Especially the one shown here on the first picture. Looks very young, comfortable, and oh-so-perfect for after futoor! For inquiries please visit the website or call (+965) 642-7400.
