Are Those Missoni Chairs?!

Before you continue reading this post, please scroll down and tell me, don't these chairs look like they're designed by Missoni??!! I got stopped at my tracks when I saw them at..... BANTA! And they're around KD 35 I think, not bad at all. But what I liked even more are the above featured plastic chairs selling for KD 11 or KD 10 each. My favorite of course is the orange one. I can just imagine having them in our balcony or maybe use them in an outdoor garden. Very suitable for our unstable weather, I wouldn't want to pay more than KD 10 for something that will be constantly exposed to dust, humidity, rain, and all kinds of sever hot weather.

In addition to Missoni inspired chairs, I also spotted furniture inspired by Roche Bobois, a longtime favorite furniture brand for a lot of people in Kuwait. I personally think it's slightly overrated. Anyhow, BANTA Furniture is located at Hadi Center in Dhajeej in Farwaniya.

You mean inspired by Kartell's "Mademoiselle" line not Roche Bobois... :)

No actually I was referring to The Maj Jong Sectional from Roche Bobois, Benta has created something almost identical, unfortunately I didn't take a photo of it :)

As for the chairs that looked like Missoni, I didn't know they were inspired by Kartell's "Mademoiselle" line, they just looked very missoni to me ;) so thanks for sharing :)

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.
