Sitting Front Row at Prabal Gurung's Fashion Show

Yup, you read that right. I was invited to Prabal Gurung's exclusive Fashion Show over the weekend, and yours truly was seated front row, sipping on my chamomile tea and wearing my comfiest jammies. Nope I'm not hallucinating. I was chosen exclusively from the Middle East by M.A.C cosmetics to attend and cover a virtual fashion show where Prabal Gurung presented his first online runway show hosted by KCD Worldwide’s new Digital Fashion Shows platform. This platform is an innovative information delivery system that provides a third way, along with runway shows and presentations, to deliver crucial fashion information to editors, journalists, and retail executives. It provides all the information and materials needed to review, cover and potentially buy the collection, just like a physical show, but each of the invited guests has a front row seat and behind the scenes access at their fingertips. Welcome to the new generation of fashion reporting and buying.

Prabal Gurung showcased his collection for Japanese brand ICB in an online invite-only event. Featured here are some of my favorite looks. I loved how the designer mixed bright hues with structured lines. Looked very uber-chic.

I also liked how the models had an effortless not-so-done approach to beauty. So I checked out the info related to beauty on site and came to know that to achieve that dewy and natural look on the models, the make-up artists used M·A·C Care Blends Essential Oils and M·A·C Prime Future. On the cheekbones the artists used M·A·C Cremeblend Blush in So Sweet, So Easy was patted onto the centre of the cheeks to give a slight flush appearance as though the model has been out in the cold. To highlight, M·A·C Cream Colour Base in Pearl was gently applied. I need to try these out at the counter myself to see the effect on me. Until then, enjoy the pics....

Saks In Bahrain

I went to Saks Fifth Avenue store in Bahrain. The two-level store is located in City Centre Mall and has a collection of American and international clothes designers for Men and Women as well as jewelry, accessories, handbags, fragrances, cosmetics, intimate apparel, bridal, and children's apparel. However, I was slightly disappointed by the small selection, maybe because all items were on sale? Or the number and variety of brands were limited? Anyhow, my favourite section at Saks - Bahrain was Saks's world-famous 10022-SHOE salon (shown in the photo below). It had the same look & feel of the NY's shoe salon but of course not the same space. The Shoe Salon had really nice selection and they were all on sale! I have been told by Saks Sales Assistant that they will be hosting numerous special events throughout the year such as fashion shows and personal appearances by designers. Now that's something I'd be interested in! In addition, they currently offer in-st
