New Designer: Xiao Li

I was skimming through RCFA's blog, when I came across a new London-based designer called Xiao Li. So I did some online research and apparently, the designer's collection was shown at the Royal College of Art fashion show last June.

Xiao Li is a 2010 Royal College of Art graduate. She has interned at Central Saint Martins College of Art Innovation Fashion Lab, Gareth Pugh Studio and Alexander McQueen. She has won a couple of prestigous awards, which you can find out more about here.

Inspired by modern architecture and 60s Balenciaga, the designer used a soft candy-colored palette for her latest collection to highlight the large thick sleeved jumpers and crochet neck detailing. I instantly mesmerized by her ability to present knitwear in a very modern, quirky-cool, and innovative way. Yes her designs might not be the most flattering, and I'd probably look like a balloon/super-sized cotton candy if I ever wear those pieces, but honestly I don't care! I'm totally hooked and I could just imagine myself wearing her oversized yellow jumper with my favorit skinny and cropped pants.

Chanel Bags on Discount?!

If you thought that getting a cheap Chanel bag that's within your budget is something too far fetched, then think again. You'll be surprised to know that Chanel's boutique located at Salhiya Complex is currently selling several bags, that are a maximum 1 or 2 seasons old, on discount . And we're not talking about a 2 or 5% discount here, these bags are 50% off their original price! For some reason I always thought that Chanel bags never go on sale. But I guess the printed ones or the ones that are made out of the collection's main fabric have to go on sale. Anyways, I managed to take photos of these 2 beauties. What I love about those bags is that they're a classic shape that never goes out of style, their print is young and refreshing, plus they're quilted. I think they could be a collector's item. Both bags featured here are sold for approximately KD 250 .
