Event: The Opening of MAZE Creative Concepts

Furniture isn't just something to sit on  and fill up an empty space with. Furniture is a celebration of our individuals style, our vision, and our culture.Which is very close in nature to how I perceive fashion. Yes I can get a plain and practical sofa at some local furniture manufacturers, but when I walk in the room will it say anything to me but 'sit here.'  The same applies to buying a bag, I don't want to just 'carry' a bag! I want to hold it close to my heart and look at it like beautiful form of art

Last night's event has precisely reflected my view on furniture. I had the pleasure of attending the opening of MAZE Creative Concepts, the brainchild of Furniture Designer Mrs. Bibi Al-Ghanim.The new store has been relocated to be a part of 52 Degrees' new extension.

Ever since I reviewed her former shop-in-shop located at 52 Degrees last December, I have been a huge fan of her artistic approach and her ability to mix colorful and traditional materials with her clean contemporary designs to produce high-quality, practical, and beautiful pieces. And last night's event was nothing short of exceptional and beautiful furniture and home accessories. I'll let the photos below do the talking...

Not only Mrs. Al Ghanim is a talented interior designer but she also provides consultancy services and customized furniture based on clients’ requirements. She will be showcasing her latest designs later this year at an interior design and furniture trade show in London.

I have a weakness for pieces decorated with mother-of-pearl.. check out the legs of this table...

A beautifully set dinning-table by Mrs. Bibi Al-Ghanim

Knowing how hard it is to spot a nice Paravan, I was thrilled when I saw this one since my mom has been looking for one that doesn't look so tacky...

I'm in love with this mother-of-pearl table!

I spotted this small pieces of gorgeously embroidered and printed fabrics and I came to know through the event organizer that these were actually designed by Mrs. Bibi Al Ghanim and she can design and customize your furniture to your liking using her exclusive fabrics.

Dahlia of famous fashion blog Chic Intuition was wearing a Ramadan caftan designed by Kuwaiti designer Najeeba Al-Qadhibi.

Look what I spotted on the shop's floor! An illustration of turkish man dressed in traditional clothes. Isn't that super cute! Oh! and here are my colorful shoes of the evening...

I like this double-sided sofa!

And now a quick look at stylish guests of the evening.. Pastels and Prada? le sigh!

I think it is simply fabulous when your furniture comes with a booklet. Not a leaflet...a booklet.  MAZE Creative Concepts' colorful booklet, designed by Circus BC, comes with 'clear' pictures and philosophy.

Cute serving tray!

Yowza!! Givenchy's Spinal cord necklace! Love Lust at first sight!

I spy with my little eye a caftan designed by Razan Alazzouni! Lovely one...

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.
