Event: Gucci Brings Florentine Craftsmanship to Kuwait

In celebration of its 90th anniversary, Gucci hosted an artisans event at its 360 Mall boutique. The event showcased the craftsmanship of Gucci’s Florentine leather goods factory. I made sure to pass by and I did. Only to find the doors closed so I politely asked the lady at the entrance of the boutique if I could come in and she warmly welcomed me in. And I was glad that I went because it was very interesting and a unique experience to see the brand's most skilled artisans working so meticulously right there in front of me with their custom-built workshops. And when I was about to leave, one of sales team give me a goodie bag and inside was a small gift box and inside it had Gucci's original Bamboo keychain. (Thank you!),  Following Dubai and Kuwait City, the Artisan Corner will also travel to Qatar later this month.

So if you have the time, pass by Gucci's boutique at the 360 Mall, the Artisan Corner will continue tomorrow, Thursday May 19th, from 10am to 10pm.. And if you make a purchase during the event, you will receive a personal letter from Gucci Creative Director Frida Giannini.

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...

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.

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?
