I'm Back and A Burberry Brief

So I'm back from my quick London Fashion Week trip. I had to cut it short due to personal commitments, and unfortunately I missed attending amazing shows such as David Koma, Peter Pilotto, Christian Blanken, Louise Gray, Richard Nicoll, Burberry Prorsum, Roksanda Ilincic, Emilio de la Morena, and more. Nevertheless, this trip was definitely the highlight of my blogging career. Attending amazing shows, sitting front row, meeting the movers and shaker of this fashion industry, observing the amazing work by new talents up close?? Everything was so surreal and it happened so quick. I keep thinking about it the whole time. It's like someone took a tape and put it on rewind (tape? yes I'm a true 80's kid!). I'll be sharing more of my LFW experience today or tomorrow.

Speaking of which, did you manage to watch Burberry Prorsum Spring/Summer 2013 womenswear show live streamed on Confashion? If not, you can replay the video here. I always look forward to Burberry Prorsum's fashion show because I'm always eager to find out the brand's latest interpretation of the classic trench coat. This season, Burberry didn't cease to amaze us. Tench coats came in all gorgeous details, think lace, feathers, metallic, little capelet attached, puffy sleeves, fitted, and even ombré. Makes it so hard to settle for one! Oh and that siren red shade on the lips of Burberry's models? So pretty! It gives that strong, feminine attitude of this season’s Burberry girl.

And what did you think of the music? Amazing ha? Here's the playlist in case you want to download them on your music player:

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.

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.
