Actress Haya Abdulsalam Like You've Never Seen Her Before

We've all seen the latest cover of Kuwait-based magazine ATHNAIN and the amazing transformation of pretty actress Haya Abdulsalam. Last week I have received even more photos of Haya Abdulsalam's fashion editorial, featured in the entertainment issue of ATHNAIN. I must say that the creative team behind this editorial have done an amazing job. I mean they have completely transformed the actress into an avant-garde and uber-chic persona. In fact, I don't think I have ever seen the actress, dare I say, look so stylish. Except maybe on the cover of Marie Claire Kuwait a few years back, when she wore caftans, but I wouldn't call her look stylish back then, more like Ramadani chic.

According to Yousef Al Taher, the Editor and Co-founder of ATHNAIN magazine, the complete issue is inspired by David Bowie because they believe David Bowie is the ultimate entertainer who defined style/fashion and art expression.

Haya Abdulsalam, on the cover is wearing a one of a kind Rad Hourani couture piece, hand-picked by the designer himself for the cover.

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.

Magical Mode

As anyone who regularly reads Confashions may know, there are some designers I’ve been obsessed with for quite some time: one is the genius Erdem , the other is Nicholas Kirkwood , and Pierre Hardy . And because their designs are somehow easily accessible online and offline, I had the pleasure of featuring some of their creations and showing them the love they deserve. That said, there is one designer I’ve been particularly smitten with for quite some time. He has always been on the top of my favorite designers list ever since I was introduced to his designs by my fabulous fellow fashionisto Adnan Z Manjal a couple of years back : Saudi designer Mohammed Ashi . I always wished I featured him more. I couldn’t because his pieces are very exclusive and as far as I know not stocked anywhere here. This clearly isn't just another post on my obvious love for Mohammed Ashi’s designs or the quality of his clothes as I have done that previously. Ashi simply deserves his very own epic p...

To New Beginnings...

"What did this Corona crisis teach you?" my friend asked. My first thought was thing crisis has opened my eyes on the simple pleasures of life. My priorities have changed. And I feel every day is a new beginning. First of all, it made me realize how much I miss blogging. How simple and mentally satisfying it was to jolt down my thoughts on a field that I was very passionate about. I have to admit that I'm not as passionate now. Don't get me wrong, I still like fashion, but it's now on the bottom of my priorities list. I would like to blog about other things too that I feel much related to. I recently discovered that I do enjoy cooking. For the longest time, cooking to me was a nightmare. This corona crisis has taught us that we can look forward to a new day with new possibilities to contribute or to help another, or to simply approach things differently, and most importantly to make the most of each day we have and share that goodness with others.
