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.

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...
