Nuqat Enriches our Community

I have announced Nuqat Foundation's workshops on my Save the Date page a few weeks ago.  Unfortunately, due to prior commitments I was unable to enroll in the Calligraphy workshop. And after seeing the photos of the workshop on Nuqat's blog, I feel like beating myself up for not attending! Then again it's not like I had a choice! Sigh! Anyways, I was excited to see that the workshops were/are being held at the recently renovated  historical building "Alqibliya School" in Kuwait City.  I think just being there sets you into the right mood for creativity and focusing on the instructors' main messages. This week is Nuqat's last workshop, they will be running a Street Art: Digital Graffiti workshop starting tomorrow May 16th-18th, from 5pm to 9pm. I think it would be nice for the people behind Nuqat to run a mini poll on their blog or site to get feedback from people who are interested in this field on what kind of workshops to run  in the future.

You can check Nuqat Foundation's blog here for more information and to view photos of the previously conducted workshops. If you're interested to find out more, please contact info@nuqatfoundation.com or call (+965) 9770-6522.

Work in progress
The Nuqat team with instructor Saleh Al Shukairi which hosted a workshop titled Introduction to Arabic Calligraphy.

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?
