The Baroness


When I first received this image by e-mail of this whimsy ivory colored dress with a cute little black bow decorating the V-back dress, I was eager to find out more about the person behind these sweet yet simple designs.  Allow me to introduce you to Baron Oh.

Baron was born in Seoul, South Korea. She remembers making her first skirt when she was 5 years old sitting by her grandmother, her greatest inspiration, who dedicated 50 years of her life creating the Hanbok Korean traditional costume, making them for Korea's most beloved first lady, Ms. Yook, who was well known for her elegance and class.

She has lived in New York, Milan and Rome and currently living in London.  Baron studied fashion design and business in University; she has also acquired her MBA at one of the most prestigious Universities in Europe, SDA Bocconi in Milan. In 2005, she has moved to Rome and worked for FENDI in Marketing and Commercial department for four years. Having lived in a world of creation across the globe, she wanted to combine the beauty and the structure in modern women's wear with traditional oriental art and handicraft such as traditional hand golden printing, hand-dyed silk and hand-embroider. Baron had launched her first collection at 2009 FW Paris fashion week.

Altuzarra or Aquazzura?

That is the question. It took me a whole season to finally tell these two brands apart, and this season, there's no mistake, each brand is now engraved in my fashion database like a personalized Tiffany's pen. And this Resort 2015 season, I'm head over heels with their flats, on display now at AlOthman Boutique . Altuzarra's version comes in a tonal-gray water snake and are decorated with beige shells, red beads and silver sequins. Aquazzura's lace-up sandals come in a beautiful shade of apple green, and will work with white or bright colored casual summer outfit.  After much thought and sole-searching, I have decided to go for the  Altuzarra   sandals. They're safely stored in my closet, waiting for the dust and the cold to go away.  Which pair would you go for?

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.
