Simple and Sweet

With all the craziness of caftan designs around, especially the badly mix'n'unmatched ones I saw recently! I started craving seeing simply designed caftans. So when the girls behind Keswah, Arabic for clothing, e-mailed me about their brand, I immediately was attracted to their simple and sweet the collection. Keswah is the brainchild of three Emarati girls who have joined forces to create their own fashion label in contemporary caftans. Inspired by their traditional clothing and international fashion trends, Keswah is working on pushing more of the accessible female conservative clothing styles in UAE and developing new and innovative concepts. Featured here are photos of their first collection.

For more information, please send an email to info@Keswah.com.

I SO agree with "Just me." I read the name, frowned and said, "Ma ligay ela hal isim?" Their pieces look really cool but...the name! I think I'd be embarrassed to say it out loud if someone would ask me where I'd bought my kaftan from...!

Lol Girls I know what you mean by that, but in the UAE Keswah is quite commonly used. Ask your mothers Im sure they're familiar with that because here quite often women would send each other clothes as gifts from fabrics to night gowns, these kind of gifts are called Keswah. كسوة

LOOOL!!
tsk tsk tsk! :P
Well, maybe for us Kuwaities we're not too comfortable with the brand name but let's not forget that it's targeted to all GCC countries.. so maybe it's not as "uncomfortable" as it seems. Besides, it's the design that matter and it definitely looks fab!

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...
