Event: Dress Code at CAP Kuwait

I passed by Dress Code Project the other day, an art exhibition hosted by The Contemporary Art Platform (CAP) and curated by Amal Makkawi and Martina Corgnati. They showcased the works of twelve artists hailing from Algeria to Pakistan and from Turkey to Egypt to the Emirates, via Syria, Lebanon and Iraq. It was interesting to see how the artists used various techniques and forms of expression to create unwearable dresses with a hidden message, think collage, multimedia, photography, industrial material, and installations. Featured here are some of the dresses that caught my attention.

The Contemporary Art Platform is located at Life Center (Industrial Shuwaikh, Block 2, Street 28, Top floor). The same building as Eureka/Midas. The exhibition will be on until 21st December.

Can you imagine the time and effort it took to create the dresses shown in the photos above and below? Amazing.

Islamic/geometric patterns on a plastic dress, very Marni-like no? Previous post here.

I love the library area of The Contemporary Art Platform so modern and fresh, I wonder who made the tables...

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.
