Satins and Soles


I'm probably most inclined to splurge on the highest heels with statment details, but then I'm always dismayed I don't get to wear them all the time. Did that ever stop me from buying more? Nooo. And today I have added one more cobalt blue pair to my wish list. Allow me to introduce you to the newest name in Shoes business, Liam Fahy.  The winner of the first Fashion Fringe accessories has been selected by Colin Mc Dowell and Manolo Blahnik as the protégé of Rupert Sanderson. African born, London based Liam Fahy has spent the past few years refining his design talent in Italy alongside veteran artisans of the luxury trade.

The collection is made of the finest, most expensive satins, pythons and vernice in Italy, whilst the soles are painstakingly hand crafted with individual silver characters as is the signature of Liam Fahy.  The range is inspired by pure elegance with low cut lines and sexy silhouettes whilst the fixtures are constructed in traditional silversmith techniques inspired by 13th century armor and jewellery.  The collection will be produced in a limited edition of only 500 pairs and should be available next year around May through the designer's exclusive e-boutique.

Feels like I saw same designs before. Don't see anything new or creative in them.
Good luck to him

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...

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...
