Future of Fashion

I went on a much-needed break to London and Paris recently and vowed to unplug myself from technology, so I switched off my mobile phone, which was a successful attempt, and tried to unblog or check my emails, not as successful but I managed to restrict myself to two times of checking and blogging during my entire trip. And in my standards that was good enough. Anyhow, I’m not going to bore you with all the details of my trip. But I’ll be posting some of its highlights.

So, let’s start with London Fashion Week. St Martin's Courtyard, located in Covent Garden, launched an exhibition during LFW of some of London's most talented and upcoming designers specially selected by prestigious fashion colleges and organizations such as Central Saint Martin's, International Talent Support, London College of Fashion, Royal College of Art and Vauxhall Fashion Scout.

The exhibition, titled the Future of Fashion, offered futuristic and eccentric visions of what people may be wearing in years to come. I took some photos of my favorite futuristic pieces to share with you and if you happen to be in London, pass by the exhibition. It’s on until 10th March and admission is free.

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...
