Attending Andrew Gn's Show in Dubai

While in Dubai, I was invited to attend Saks Fifth Avenue Dubai's elegant and intimate eveningwear fashion show, in the presence of renowned Singapore-born, Paris-based fashion designer, Andrew Gn. It was fun to enjoy a little glimpse of fashion week right in the heart of Dubai.

Boasting opulent fabrics and exquisite craftsmanship, the event showcased 25 eveningwear gowns in a myriad of colors, rich textures and dramatic shades from Andrew Gn’s Pre-Spring, S/S 12, and an exclusive preview of his Pre-Fall, and Fall-Winter 2012 collections. Guests were given the opportunity to pre-order dresses for Fall-Winter 12, as well as the chance for a personal one-on-one session with the designer himself.

As the show ended I went to the designer and told him that I first got to know about him 10 years ago when Villa Moda used to stock his brand, by the way I MISS VM!! :( sniff!!, and that I still remember how I instantly fell in love with his flower embroidered 50's like full skirts. He was pleasantly surprised and very friendly. hmm.. now that I think of it ... I hope he wasn't offended that I was praising his 10 years old designed skirt instead of his evening wear! Don't get me wrong, they looked glamorous. But I always had a very warm spot for that skirt. Oh well, it was a memorable evening. Thank you Saks Dubai for the invite.

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?

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.
