Du Fleur

This post is long overdue, but I finally managed to have the time to write about a brand that infatuated me while shopping in Starch Boutique in Beirut a few months ago.  Allow me to introduce you to Emily Cremona, establish by two young designers in autumn of 2009.  Emily Cremona was selected to showcase their first collection at Starch Boutique in October 2010. I have contacted the designers to know more about them and their collection.

Deena Cremona Wassef is a Lebanese-Egyptian designer who studied fashion design at Notre Dame University, where she received a high honor bachelor degree in 2009. Wassef, the designer of the brand, co-founded Emily Cremona with Rouba Emily Mouawad, Lebanese, who studied Interior Design at the Lebanese American University, who also recently graduated with a bachelor degree in spring 2010.


In A/W 2010/2011, Emily Cremona revealed its “Du Fleur” collection. They sought to create garments envisioning an androgynous type of silhouette, one that is fragile, poetic, and expresses romanticism.

What I liked about their collection is that it offers unique designs not dictated by the fashion masses. It had a mix of much stated femininity with a slight hint of masculinity. Think romantic full tulle dresses and skirts paired with fitted tailcoat jackets (as shown above). The collection was dominated by two colors black and white. If you ever get the chance to go to Beirut, when things calm a bit, make sure you check out their collection at Starch Boutique to get a full view of their creativity.

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...

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.
