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.

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!
