Harper's Bazaar Best Dressed List

Knowing how obsessed I am with magazines, my lovely friend Rana was in Dubai over the weekend and got me a copy of Harper's Bazaar Best Dressed list, which comes complimentary with HB's March issue. Speaking of magazines, what's wrong Kuwait? Why aren't we getting any fashion magazines? The once that are being sold throughout bookshops are November and December's editions! Someone told me that the delay is caused by some sort of heated rivalries between two of Kuwait's main magazine suppliers. Bummer! I know we have zinio now, but I prefer reading my mags old school style.

Anyhow, contrary to the previous best dressed list edition, this edition featured more Kuwaitis than ever: Nadia Behbehani, Amal Khoursheed, Fatima Al-Qadiri, Hanan Al Jouan, Hind Al Wazzan, and Noor Al Sabah. Kudos to Kuwaiti Style! I enjoyed reading the profile of each one of them, especially that part where artist Fatima Al Qadiri mentioned that one of her favorite fashion items is a Givenchy leather harness personally gifted to her by Riccardo Tisci. Now how cool is that?!!

Actually, I read the profiles of each of the fabulous and fashionable women featured in the list! It's so pleasing to see our region's personal style (and not trends only) celebrated in that way. Looking forward to next year's edition. Here are some of my favorite bits...

UPDATE: It is worth mentioning that Kuwaiti stylist Fahad Al Marzouq is the one who did the styling for Hanan Al Jouan, Noor Al Sabah, and his mother Hend Al Wazzan. Great job Fahad! 

Loved the Helmet Lang blazer with chiffon sleeves which Nadia Behbehani, Amanda Peet look-alike, was sporting.
