Exclusive: Reed Krakoff Launches Today on Net-a-Porter


NET-A-PORTER.COM is delighted to introduce the Reed Krakoff Collection for fall 2010 today. After more than 20 years in the fashion industry, Reed Krakoff has created his own comprehensive line of beautifully made ready-to-wear, handbags, shoes, sunglasses and jewelry.
 
The collection articulates the notion of American sportswear with a practical utility and modern take on craftsmanship that redefines luxury. It reflects an inspired juxtaposition of contrasting elements—subtle and confident, industrial and poetic, tailored and fluid—expressing a strong and sensual femininity. Outerwear, especially the iconic military coat, sleek leather skirts and messenger bags in a rich mix of materials are slated to become your new uniform.

“I’m designing for an intelligent, confident woman who has her own sense of understated style and an appreciation for the way everything looks, feels and performs," says Krakoff. “She has a timeless look, preferring pieces that subtly underscore her individual strength and character.”
 
Holli Rogers, NET-A-PORTER’s Buying Director says: “Reed Krakoff’s collection of military meets minimalism proves his ability to simplify the trends and identify a perfect look. His way of contrasting feminine silhouettes with menswear-inspired tailoring exudes a fluid, subtle richness.”

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.

Chanel Bags on Discount?!

If you thought that getting a cheap Chanel bag that's within your budget is something too far fetched, then think again. You'll be surprised to know that Chanel's boutique located at Salhiya Complex is currently selling several bags, that are a maximum 1 or 2 seasons old, on discount . And we're not talking about a 2 or 5% discount here, these bags are 50% off their original price! For some reason I always thought that Chanel bags never go on sale. But I guess the printed ones or the ones that are made out of the collection's main fabric have to go on sale. Anyways, I managed to take photos of these 2 beauties. What I love about those bags is that they're a classic shape that never goes out of style, their print is young and refreshing, plus they're quilted. I think they could be a collector's item. Both bags featured here are sold for approximately KD 250 .

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...
