In the News: Christian Louboutin to Open in Riyadh

Christian Louboutin announces the opening of its first store in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Christian Louboutin stand alone boutique will launch at the beginning of June 2011 and will be located within the Kingdom Centre; the landmark mall and premier destination for luxury shopping in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s capital, Riyadh.

The launch collection will comprise distinctive Louboutin classics alongside a selection of high summer styles such as the sought-after Balota, the Salsbourg and the 1970s inspired Luxura. Bags include the covetable Sweet Charity and the hand-painted Batik Python Riviera clutch.

Also embracing the upcoming Autumn Winter 2011 pre-collection, the boutique will carry a number of new creations such as the elegant 1EN8 and Aranea to the whimsical Artemis bags. In recognition of the brands long standing clients within Riyadh, the Kingdom Centre boutique will offer exclusive styles within KSA.

The opening comes swiftly after the launch of the Saks Bahrain boutique in January this year, adding to the labels growing presence within the Middle East. Initiated with the Jeddah boutique in February 2010, the first store in the region was closely followed by prominent sites in both Beirut and Dubai. The boutique also marks the continuing partnership with the Chalhoub Group, becoming the fifth joint venture within the 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?

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...
