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....

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...

To New Beginnings...

"What did this Corona crisis teach you?" my friend asked. My first thought was thing crisis has opened my eyes on the simple pleasures of life. My priorities have changed. And I feel every day is a new beginning. First of all, it made me realize how much I miss blogging. How simple and mentally satisfying it was to jolt down my thoughts on a field that I was very passionate about. I have to admit that I'm not as passionate now. Don't get me wrong, I still like fashion, but it's now on the bottom of my priorities list. I would like to blog about other things too that I feel much related to. I recently discovered that I do enjoy cooking. For the longest time, cooking to me was a nightmare.  This corona crisis has taught us that we can look forward to a new day with new possibilities to contribute or to help another, or to simply approach things differently, and most importantly to make the most of each day we have and share that goodness with others.
