Playful Pieces

It's been a while since I last shopped at Oasis. I didn't think I was missing out  much on anything especially that its collections haven't been that impressive compared to retail moguls TopShop, H&M, and Zara. So when I walked past its window display by coincidence and caught a glimpse of the above top I immediately stopped and had to rush inside. I read about a limited edition designer collaboration a month ago somewhere and now this limited collection is in Kuwait. The exclusive collaboration is with London College of Fashion undergraduate Rosalind Keep.

Keep’s Trompe L’oeil illustrations, which means 'trick of the eye' in French, of corseted dresses, trench coats, tuxedo’s and Chanel inspired jackets have been printed onto a range of jersey separates including oversized tees and racer back vests. The quirky cool tops are ideal for casual days and very budget friendly. Price tag? KD 19.

I'm not sure if Ashish is being sold anywhere here in Kuwait. But you can find it online on Net-a-porter.com and BrownsFashion.com. Also, you can find in at Creme Boutique in Bahrain (Al-Aali Mall), in Mahat Boutique in Jeddah, and in Tigerlily in Dubai's Wafi Mall.

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.

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...

To New Beginnings...

"What did this Corona crisis teach you?" my friend asked. My first thought was thing crisis has opened my eyes on the simple pleasures of life. My priorities have changed. And I feel every day is a new beginning. First of all, it made me realize how much I miss blogging. How simple and mentally satisfying it was to jolt down my thoughts on a field that I was very passionate about. I have to admit that I'm not as passionate now. Don't get me wrong, I still like fashion, but it's now on the bottom of my priorities list. I would like to blog about other things too that I feel much related to. I recently discovered that I do enjoy cooking. For the longest time, cooking to me was a nightmare.  This corona crisis has taught us that we can look forward to a new day with new possibilities to contribute or to help another, or to simply approach things differently, and most importantly to make the most of each day we have and share that goodness with others.
