LFW: Prêt-à-Porter Part II

I know my London Fashion Week posts seem seem to be never-ending, but I couldn't possibly post everything that I saw and liked in one post. I'm probably the only blogger who's still posting about LFW. But I promise you this, I only have one more post left and that's it. I'll be all done from LFW, so you can all breathe a sigh of relief. So in today's post I'll be covering some additional Prêt-à-Porter brands, which I did not mention in my previous post here.

Let's start with Paper by Kelly Townsend, designs featured in the first photo shown above. For her S/S 2013 collection, the  Central Saint Martins alumni was inspired by classics from the seventies. Think fun and bold colors, graphic prints, and flattering A-line shapes. I definitely see myself wearing her pieces.

Saloni is not a new brand, I remember seeing it at AlOthman Boutique and I think now it's stocked at Al Ostoura if I'm not mistaken. The brand is known for its vibrant, relaxed, and playful designs. I loved this textured cropped jacket from Saloni's S/S 2013 collection.

I spotted this beautiful knitted cardi/cover-up with Mexican embroidery by Carla Fernández, and all I could thing of is wearing it with a pair of comfy jeans and the most comfortable shoes and simply walk around London town. It looked and felt so cozy! Carla Fernández is a brand inspired in the geometrical and textile wealth of Mexican textile culture. You can find out more by clicking here.    

Opps... I really can't remember who designed this bright coral dress but it looked very cute...

I know Willow is not a new brand either, but I had to share a glimpse of the pieces they had on display for their S/S 2013 collection. One of Australia's most stylish brands presented was one of the few brands who offered pastel colors, in conjunction with black, for the new season. Everything looked so feminine and pretty.

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...

My Birkin... My Pride & Joy

Birkin ... Birkin .. Birkin ... you mesmerize me.. I'm so addicted to yoooooou . sitting galmorously in my closet is my hard earned blue Hermes Birkin Bag. To own it is like the ultimate fashionista dream. I look at it lovingly and think to myself " daaaamn ! you are one hell of a lucky girl! I shall protect you from the evil eye 'till the day I die ". My friend asked me once why am I so obsessed with my Birkin . I can list 100 reasons why. But just to be short & sweet, it's exclusive, expensive ( I saw a Birkin in vogue with diamonds on it's hardware. How much do you think it costs? ), it's hand crafted , it takes 2 whole weeks of dedication to produce one, and it's THE bag everyone in the fashion world admires. During a recent visit to The Comfort Shoe at Mariam Complex , I came across a Birkin look alike ( shown in the pictures above ). I have to admit, from afar the bag actually looked good. So I went in to check it out. And THANK GO...
