Paying Vivienne a Visit

Guest blogger Stella Walker, whom covered the Starch event for confashions, had  the chance of a fashion's lifetime by visiting British fashion designer Vivienne Westwood's Traveling Exhibition which was held in Beirut, Lebanon a few days ago.

This exhibition celebrated over 40 years the ingenuity and creativity of Vivienne Westwood's shoe designs.  Around 100 shoe were showcased tracing the exceptional success of Dame Westwood’s career to date.  From Beirut, the exhibition will travel to Beijing, Shanghai and Tokyo throughout 2011 and New York and Los Angeles at the beginning of 2012.

"Looking at her magnificent designs I realized how her work really reflects what a humorous woman she is, I feel like I can hang out with her!", expressed Stella.

Thank you so much Stella for the coverage, now let's walk you through Stella's favorite pieces of the exhibition.


Saved the best for last! Check out the infamous 10 inch platform shoes that made super model Naomi Campbell fall at the Vivienne Westwood runway show in 1993.

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.
