Misha Nonoo

"That's a very interesting name!", I said to myself as I skimmed through the list of designers on Style.com.  I checked out the designer's latest Resort 2014 collection of preppy yet feminine pieces, and one look caught my fashion radars, dégradé stripe print pants paired with striped top with sheer microfilament knit detail. Being a total sucker for stripes (I'm not even going to tell you how many striped tops/skirts I own!!), I instantly fell in love! And I started browsing the designer's previous collections and found last year's resort collection is even just as charming if not more.

At that point I got so intrigued by this talent that I decided to find out more about the designer and that interesting last name, so I hit the search button to find out more.  

Apparently, Misha Nonoo was born in Bahrain, her mother is as English and her father is of Iraqi decent. She moved to London at an early age and studied in a boarding school. Misha attended London’s European Business School, as well as the prestigious Ecole Supérieure du Commerce Extérieur in Paris. It was during this time that she developed a long-term business strategy for her future label. And n Fall 2011, Misha debuted her collection during New York Fashion Week. Her cousin is Houda Nonoo. According to Wikipedia, Houda Nonoo is the first Jewish person, and third woman, to be appointed ambassador of Bahrain. She is also the first Jewish ambassador of any Middle Eastern Arab country, and the first female Bahraini ambassador to the United States.

Saks In Bahrain

I went to Saks Fifth Avenue store in Bahrain. The two-level store is located in City Centre Mall and has a collection of American and international clothes designers for Men and Women as well as jewelry, accessories, handbags, fragrances, cosmetics, intimate apparel, bridal, and children's apparel. However, I was slightly disappointed by the small selection, maybe because all items were on sale? Or the number and variety of brands were limited? Anyhow, my favourite section at Saks - Bahrain was Saks's world-famous 10022-SHOE salon (shown in the photo below). It had the same look & feel of the NY's shoe salon but of course not the same space. The Shoe Salon had really nice selection and they were all on sale! I have been told by Saks Sales Assistant that they will be hosting numerous special events throughout the year such as fashion shows and personal appearances by designers. Now that's something I'd be interested in! In addition, they currently offer in-st
