Behind the Scenes of Dolce & Gabbana's Kuwait Online Campaign

A few weeks ago I posted about Dolce & Gabbana's boutique event in celebration of the opening of their newest and biggest boutique in the region at Prestige/The Avenues. To celebrate the opening I have been approached by Dolce & Gabbana's representatives to be featured on their online campaign along with other young and influential people from Kuwait. I was really honored to be recognized by one of the biggest fashion houses in the world, besides it was about time to reveal the not-so-anonymous me, that is if it could be called a reveal as I still barely show and yes that was my requirement. What can I say, sometimes I can be annoyingly difficult. So I gladly accepted!

Anyhow, Dolce & Gabbana's Kuwait ambassador and Fashion Editor of Marie Claire Kuwait magazine Zainab Al Abdulrazzaq chose Dar Al Funoon as our photoshoot location, couldn't have been better. This art gallery where regular exhibitions for artists and photographers based in Kuwait and internationally are held is set in a very old Kuwaiti house. So you feel like you're surrounded by rich culture and authenticity. The photoshoot was taken by photographer Andre Shirazi. two days prior to the shoot, we went to Dolce & Gabbana's boutique to make our selection of clothes and accessories for the photoshoot. I picked a black long sleeves lace dress and paired it with velvet pumps in striking red and a pair of huge chandelier earrings. 

We arrived early on the day of the photoshoot to have our hair and make-up done. Jihad and Monda D Beauty dolled-us up. I loved their work, the make-up looked flawless. We had our hair done by Abeer. 

I had such a great time with my photoshoot buddies, they were all so lovely and easy-going. The above photos is the ones used for Dolce & Gabbana's online campaign. From left to right: Zainab Alabdulrazag, Bader Alothman and his wife Reem Alabdulrazag, that's me dressed in black, Noor Al Sabah and Abdulla Alhathran. Here are some behind-the-scenes photos of that hectic but fun day...

The stunning earrings I chose to wear for the photoshoot, they're supposed to be sold at the Dolce & Gabbana boutique, not sure if they're still available or not.  

Our hair was styled by the talented Abeer, she did a great job giving each of the girls a completely different hairstyle.

Altuzarra or Aquazzura?

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?

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...

My Birkin... My Pride & Joy

Birkin ... Birkin .. Birkin ... you mesmerize me.. I'm so addicted to yoooooou . sitting galmorously in my closet is my hard earned blue Hermes Birkin Bag. To own it is like the ultimate fashionista dream. I look at it lovingly and think to myself " daaaamn ! you are one hell of a lucky girl! I shall protect you from the evil eye 'till the day I die ". My friend asked me once why am I so obsessed with my Birkin . I can list 100 reasons why. But just to be short & sweet, it's exclusive, expensive ( I saw a Birkin in vogue with diamonds on it's hardware. How much do you think it costs? ), it's hand crafted , it takes 2 whole weeks of dedication to produce one, and it's THE bag everyone in the fashion world admires. During a recent visit to The Comfort Shoe at Mariam Complex , I came across a Birkin look alike ( shown in the pictures above ). I have to admit, from afar the bag actually looked good. So I went in to check it out. And THANK GO...
