Gucci Icon

Remember back in November I posted about Project X? Well, last week was the reveal of the project. This might not be news to some of you, but I'm sharing it anyways. So Ladies and gents, I'm excited to announce that Gucci, in collaboration with Canvas magazine, have chosen yours truly as one of its icons. Yup! That's me in the photo above! When the hunter becomes the hunted...

To mark the opening of of the new Gucci store in Kuwait, Canvas searched for icons in Kuwaiti Society who embody the brand's values. And selected them to be included in Icons for Icons, a coffee table book where talented Kuwaities in various creative fields are profiled, dressed in Gucci's iconic signature pieces, and photographed by jewelry designer Nadine Kanso. As a fashion blogger, I must say that I'm extremely flattered to be selected as an icon and to be among such great talents and inspiring people. Some of the photos that were taken are currently on display at the store.

The Gucci and Canvas team hosted a private event at the store to celebrate the completion of Icons for Icons. Below you will find highlights of the event, and I'll be sharing more photos in another post too.

During the event, I came to know about Gucci's Première Collection of couture gowns, a line that you won't find on Style.com or on the runway, or even casually displayed in store. The couture gowns would be sold by appointment and used to dress top celebrities for big red carpet occasions. If you go to Gucci store today, you will find the actual gowns that were worn by Hillary Swank, Kate Beckinsale, and Jessica Alba. The pale lilac embroidered silk gown with crystals featured here, was Alba's gown, my god how tiny her waist is!!

Antique white embroidered silk georgette gown with silver micro beading and metallic thred which was created for and worn by Kate Beckinsale.

Nadine Kanso's designed Bil Arabi ring was worn by one of the guests

And of course the always elegant  Nadine Kanso was wearing a gorgeous pair of earring, her design bein sur.

The embellishment is amazing!! Remember when I posted last year about Gucci's sample dress which I so badly wanted to fit in for the photoshoot?

Now how cool is this men's bow tie??!!

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.
