Shop Moda Operandi's Met Ball Capsule Collections

Moda Operandi’s exclusive punk collections for this year’s Met Ball and Costume Institute Exhibition. As you may already know, Moda Operandi is sponsoring the much-awaited Met Ball this year and many of the fashion world’s leading designers, Vivienne Westwood, Moschino, Givenchy, Charlotte Olympia, and Rodarte just to name a few, have designed punk-inspired collections to sell exclusively on Moda Operandi, in celebration of this years Costume Institute Exhibition, titled PUNK: CHAOS TO COUTURE.

The collection also includes one-of-a-kind customized clothing, plus rare vintage fashion and art objects that pay homage to punk, ranging from $100 to $13,000. I'd have to say that Givenchy's leather and lace long cape gets my vote for the best piece of the collection. I also loved Jennifer Behr's camellia beehive headband with floral veil.

In case you're planning to take a trip to New York, the PUNK: CHAOS TO COUTURE exhibition will be on view at The Metropolitan Museum of Art from May 9 – August 14, and it will focus on high fashion’s appropriation of punk’s avant-garde aesthetic.

Moda Operandi’s will also hold a Spotlight event in celebration of this year’s Costume Institute Benefit. The program, beginning May 7, will enable women to purchase select looks designed by Anthony Vacarello, Delpozo, Rodarte, and Wes Gordon, among others, and worn by celebrities to the event. The bold faced names wearing the designer gowns will be revealed when they walk the red carpet during arrivals.

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.

Sephora Opening Soon At The Avenues II

Beauty Junkies rejoice! The famous retailer of perfumes and cosmetics and the leading beauty chain in Europe and US, Sephora , will be opening soon at The Avenues Phase II. Personally, I like Sephora not only because of its tempting cosmetic selection, but mainly because I don't feel pressured by sales associates to buy stuff that I don't really need. I can actually touch and try the products without having the sales associate stalking me around and giving me some unnecessary comments about my skin/make-up. I think Sephora will make it big here if it sells its high-end cosmetics which are unavailable at other beauty stores/pharmacies in Kuwait. Does anyone have any product recommendations or favorites?
