Event: Harvey Nichols Kuwait

I attended Harvey Nichols Kuwait's VIP preview event last night, in which they celebrated the arrival of the multi-brand luxury store to the Avenues Phase 3.

They really went all out with the celebration, live music performances, drinks and canapés were serves, models dresses in evening gowns, the night was just perfect. And as I mentioned in my previous post here, the place is HUUUGE! 10,000 m2 (107,000 ft2) to be exact! Spreading on two floors. That's almost double the size of Debenhams in Phase I. So expect to spend at least 2 hours browsing the store.the The 2-Level store space is modern, bright, and very classy. I particularly enjoyed the various interior details throughout and the stunning chandeliers in the lavish fitting room areas. If you follow me on instagram (@confashions) you would see in one of the photos I have posted these amazing metallic streamers above the escalator space. Beautiful.

What was mind boggling to me was that by the time I was about to leave the store, some pieces were already sold out! Like Osman brocade cape jacket and Isabel Marant boots, so it was a good thing that I bought what I wanted on the spot. And that's what I kept telling people who I bumped into during the event, if you see something that you really like, buy it NOW. Obsessed much?

This is a gorgeous new addition to K-town's shopping scene. I just hope that I'll still be able to find parking easily the next couple of days with all of the new foot traffic they expect. I'll leave you now with some highlights of the event.

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
