Lulwa Al-Amin... A New Designer on the Fashion Scene

I've been meaning to write this post ever since I first saw Lulwa Al Amin's debut collection almost 5 months ago and fell in love with a structured dress (shown in the last photo), the design looked so fresh! Like it was about to be featured in some fashion editorial for Lula magazine or Elle magazine. So when i got the chance to view Lulwa's 2nd collection for S/S 2012, it hit me! I never got around writing about this great regional talent. So this way overdue post is in recognition of the amazing designs, which have been created by Bahraini designer Lulwa Al Amin.

Born and raised in Bahrain, Lulwa Al Amin moved to London in 2004 to complete her college studies. She graduated from Central Saint Martins in 2009 with a BA Degree in Textile Design. Before starting her own label, Lulwa had already gained work experience from leading names in the fashion Industry, such as Matthew Williamson and Browns. In addition to a number of freelance projects.

The theme of Lulwa Al Amin's S/S 2012 has a whimsical and ethereal tone. Think girly silhouettes, cute ruffles, whimsical prints, and soft pastel colors. Her collection will soon be available online on www.notjustalabel.com. Also, both Sauce boutique and D'NA are carrying her collection as of this week. Lulwa is also set to exhibit her brand at Paris Fashion Week in March for next season.

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...
