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.

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...

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?

My Birkin... My Pride & Joy

Birkin ... Birkin .. Birkin ... you mesmerize me.. I'm so addicted to yoooooou . sitting galmorously in my closet is my hard earned blue Hermes Birkin Bag. To own it is like the ultimate fashionista dream. I look at it lovingly and think to myself " daaaamn ! you are one hell of a lucky girl! I shall protect you from the evil eye 'till the day I die ". My friend asked me once why am I so obsessed with my Birkin . I can list 100 reasons why. But just to be short & sweet, it's exclusive, expensive ( I saw a Birkin in vogue with diamonds on it's hardware. How much do you think it costs? ), it's hand crafted , it takes 2 whole weeks of dedication to produce one, and it's THE bag everyone in the fashion world admires. During a recent visit to The Comfort Shoe at Mariam Complex , I came across a Birkin look alike ( shown in the pictures above ). I have to admit, from afar the bag actually looked good. So I went in to check it out. And THANK GO...
