Design Forum


I have just recently noticed a new line at River Island called River Island Design Forum. Design Forum is a River Island initiative where  it commissions fashion students and emerging talents to design a limited collection to be sold in select River Island stores (thank god Kuwait is one of them!!) under the Design Forum banner.  I was quite impressed by some of the Design Forum pieces. There were some seriously cool shoes and dresses at very budget friendly prices of course, like this featured dress with sheer billowy sleeves  (on the mannequin) which you can pair with a statement necklace and killer heels and no one would ever guess that it's from RI!! And these strappy beige and turquoise sandals with leather bow details designed by student Sophia Grace, I already have this name saved in my archives because from the looks of her designs, she's going to hit it big.

I knooow! I was quite impressed! I think if the designer of the shoes starts manufacturing her designs at even a better quality factories, she will hit it big!

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! I have been told by Saks Sales Assistant that they will be hosting numerous special events throughout the year such as fashion shows and personal appearances by designers.
