Introducing Moushi


I love scouting for new talents in our region and shedding a light on new and upcoming designers. Especially when they're in the early stages of their career. And I can imagine how challenging it is to set a name for your brand in one of the toughest industries around. So this post is my way of showing some support to emerging fashion talents.

The other day I had the pleasure of being introduced to a new brand from a neighbouring country, Saudi Arabia, called Moushi.  Moushi is a high-end brand that offers casual chic and evening wear.  The Riyadh-based brand is founded by Mashael Alfaris, a young talented Saudi fashion designer. "My dream is to build a successful international brand and share my creativity and imagery with the world" expressed Alfaris to Confashions From Kuwait.

She has graduated from a prestigious fashion school Art and Skills institute collaborated with Educational Partner Box Hill Institute - Melbourne- Australia in 2009.  "I knew since I was a kid I would be working in the art field, but I never imagined myself growing to become a fashion designer. My hobby since I was in kindergarten is drawing figures. Then when i reached third grade I used to draw anime and distribute them to my classmates at school so they would color them. I was so inspired by the Japanese animation "manga" and how girls look so beautiful and feminine.  As I got older, I became inspired by fashion magazines, fashion designers, and trends. Fashion to me is not only clothes to wear, it's imagination, identity, it's art it self. " stated Alfaris.

"I am always inspired by the 50's and 60's glamourous style. I love how women looked at that time. They were so immaculate and elegant. In addition, I am also inspired by urban fashion style. I try to combine between classic and urban look to create a new modern impression." said Alfaris. 

Featured here some of Moushi's designs for her glamorous evening gowns line. Find out more about Moushi here.

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?

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.
