The Grandmother of Style

I have heard a lot about Grace Coddington's feature on The Economist Intelligent Life Spring 2011 quarterly issue. I didn't expect to see this issue in Kuwait's newsstands, but to my surprise I have found it! Some mags can only be found at Kuwait Bookshops Company. Anyhow, I got to know about Grace through the movie The September Issue and I loved her ever since. I was so intrigued to find out more about this Fashion icon. So when I saw the mag I immediately bought it. The feature is passionately written by Grace's former assistant Julie Kavanagh. The next day my sister casually tells me that I can access and read the full article online for free!! Oh Gee! Thanks sis! hehe.. anyways, you can read it by clicking here.  And look who's photo was featured too!! So young and pretty!

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...
