F160 and Visual Therapy's Art Show

Last week I was invited to Visual Therapy's first art show, which took place at Dar Al Funoon. Due to personal commitments, I couldn't make it to the actual event but I made sure to check out what's left of it the next day.

Kuwait-based Visual Therapy is a blend of various projects, which work together to provide an aesthetic platform for innovative work and ideas in all creative fields. Projects include the blog, studio, gallery, and shop.

Last week Visual Therapy presented its first ever art show titled Not Just a Pop-Up, and it featured original artwork and prints by Kuwaiti artist F160 and Brooklyn-based artist Zebadiah Keneally. A local graffiti artist Monstariam also painted a live mural during the show. I can't believe I missed this!! Serves me right for not properly managing my time effectively. Anyhow, I'm glad I went there the next day because the paintings done by F160 were beyond amazing. So detailed, so vibrantly colored, and some had funny messages. Most of his work was already sold out! There was one which had a view of Kuwait city which I fell in love with. It would have been perfect for our dinning area. Oh well, you can't have it all, can you? Featured here are samples of F160's work.

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.

Amazing Alia

Several months ago I posted about Alia Designs , a Kuwaiti talented designer of traditional clothes and dresses. Back then, I liked one of the items featured on her website. This time I'm going ga-ga over her latest Ramadan collection of Kaftans and darraa'at! Especially the one shown here on the first picture. Looks very young, comfortable, and oh-so-perfect for after futoor! For inquiries please visit the website or call (+965) 642-7400.
