Event: Amna Al Salem's Debut Collection

If the sight of the beautifully designed clothes fills me with joy, then the sight of seeing a Kuwaiti creative force behind these same clothes fills me with pride and joy. Last night I was invited to the unveil of Kuwaiti designer Amna Al Salem's new and much-anticipated Ready-to-Wear collection. The event was held at the 17th floor suit of Missoni Hotel Kuwait, and organized by Pretty Little Things.

I was blown away by some of the pieces she designed, that pink skirt decorated with flower like detail and paired with a cute shrunken mint-colored jacket?? Heart! Her work can be best described as sculptural and full of texture. She manged to fuse her clothes with unexpected details, creating amazing three dimensional pieces with an undefinable charm, like nothing I have seen before in our region.

Unfortunately, I was unable to take photos of her full looks due to privacy reasons, however, the designer will be sharing photos of her final lookbook soon. I just took these first 3 close-up photos of her designs as I don't want to spoil any element of surprise. The first photo shows a brooch also designed by Amna.

You can follow the designer on instagram @amnaalsalem for more previews and highlights of the event. Thank you Amna and PLT for this lovely event and I wish you both the best of luck.

And now photos of the guests, unfortunately, some photos I have taken of the guests were not of great quality so I couldn't post them here, maybe it was the lighting? but hey, I ain't no pro photographer...

And some close-ups of some beautiful fashion by equally fashionable ladies

Saks In Bahrain

I went to Saks Fifth Avenue store in Bahrain. The two-level store is located in City Centre Mall and has a collection of American and international clothes designers for Men and Women as well as jewelry, accessories, handbags, fragrances, cosmetics, intimate apparel, bridal, and children's apparel. However, I was slightly disappointed by the small selection, maybe because all items were on sale? Or the number and variety of brands were limited? Anyhow, my favourite section at Saks - Bahrain was Saks's world-famous 10022-SHOE salon (shown in the photo below). It had the same look & feel of the NY's shoe salon but of course not the same space. The Shoe Salon had really nice selection and they were all on sale! I have been told by Saks Sales Assistant that they will be hosting numerous special events throughout the year such as fashion shows and personal appearances by designers. Now that's something I'd be interested in! In addition, they currently offer in-st
