Queen of Elegance

I don't know about you but I love seeing what royalties from our region have been wearing for formal events or even out and about. And they fascinate me even more when they show support to regional fashion designers. Recently, Her Majesty Queen Rania set a remarkable example of supporting regional talents during a grand ceremony held in Amman, when she paired her traditional caftan with Jordanian Designer aennis eunis's Arabic calligraphy clutch.

According to the designer, the Arabic calligraphy laser cut suede that created a delicate flap to cover the Bronze metallic leather clutch, was made specifically for Her Majesty and will not to be produced thereafter. I wish they would consider reproducing the design, as I'm sure it would look ideal to pair with our Ramadan caftans.

Also during the Diamond Jubilee celebrations, Queen Rania showed her support again by wearing Krikor Jabotian, shown in the photo below.  The Lebanese designer created her day outfit, a red pencil skirt and a three quarter sleeve top with a bronze gold dipped broche. "I believe it was a hit." expressed Krikor. And I couldn't agree more!

I have recently posted about Krikor Jabotian's amazing work here. 
Special thanks to aennis eunis and Krikor Jabotian for sharing the photos with me.

She almost has Kuwait and Kuwaiti written all over her sartorial preferences. The place where you live and are born begins to grow on you and its influence rubs off on you in every way imaginable.
Rania and I- we go back a long way. We used to be neighbors in good 'ol Salmieh back when it was still the silk stocking district of the Persian Gulf. I can see where she gets some of her fashion spunk from.

Miu Miu Pays Tribute to the Middle East

Everyone who knows me, knows that I have a soft spot for bag charms. They're fun, cute, and add a dose of irresistible character to your plain handbag. So when I got the news about Miu Miu paying tribute to the Middle Eastern culture by presenting an exclusive playful yet multifunctional accessories in luxurious precious skin, I got excited intrigued. The round-shaped charms has the Arabic alphabet, each piece presenting a letter design with metallic hues and vibrant colors. They're cute, nothing groundbreaking. I'm not sure if these bags charms would step up my bag charms game, but I guess it depends on their price tag and how "exclusively" exclusive they are. Maybe they'll grow on me? I don't know... What do you think? The charms should be available exclusively in  Miu Miu   Boutiques throughout our region.

Amazing Alia

Several months ago I posted about Alia Designs , a Kuwaiti talented designer of traditional clothes and dresses. Back then, I liked one of the items featured on her website.

Looks very young, comfortable, and oh-so-perfect for after futoor! For inquiries please visit the website or call (+965) 642-7400.
