I always get excited when the pictures of Ashi Studio's new collections start rolling in. Known for his dramatic use of classic materials such as lace and tulle, Beirut-based Saudi designer Mohammed Ashi is a genius when it comes to creating luxurious pieces to wow guests in parties and weddings. His Ready-to-Wear and Couture A/W 2013 collection, which is currently viewable on his website, is no exception. Click after click, I ooh-ed and ahh-ed at what came next, especially at the couture section, every piece looked dreamy and exceptional.
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?
