Artist Dominik Jasiński

I was shopping in Shuwaikh the other day when I spotted a guy carrying a really cool hand-painted canvas handbag. I was hesitant at first to stop him and ask, I didn't want to freak him out, luckily for me, his friend must have noticed my interested because he immediately pointed to the bag and his friend and said "He actually hand-painted this bag, amazing ha?". I instantly jumped in front of the poor guys, excited to find out more. 

I came to know that he's an artist from Poland and his name is Dominik Jasiński. He is currently working in Kuwait, and he mainly specializes in oil paintings but started cooperating with bag designers, pottery designers and so on, to create a fusion of art and fashion. He invited me to Dar Al Funoon's exhibition which he took part in last month but unfortunately being swamped with work, I was unable to attend the exhibition. However, he was kind enough to send me photos of his recent work. 

The bags are unique. Some of them are made only as one piece, some he has produced in short series of 5 pieces. They might not appeal to some women in Kuwait, especially those who refuse to carry a bag that's not from Chanel, Hermes... etc, but I think those who appreciate art and individuality would be attracted to his casual cool everyday bag and designs. He is currently looking for t-shirt manufacturers in Kuwait to print his artwork on high-quality tees, so if you have any recommendations, please feel free to post them in the comments section of this post.  

Dominik Jasiński, born in 1981 in  Poland, graduated from the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts, specializing in drawing the anatomy of the human body. His works now hanging in private collections in UK, Canada, Portugal, Kuwait, France, Luxembourg, Spain, Sweden as well as his native Poland. Dominik is acclaimed as a raising star among young Polish artists, which has put him in demand for many other projects,  such as; promoting a large retailer, designing pottery, fashion design of bags and T-shirts.

He also curates exhibitions to give other artists a chance to display their work, this is in conjunction with the Gallery of the National Theatre of Poland in Warsaw. He also has been commissioned to paint a portrait of Katie Melua as part of Breast Cancer awareness in Poland.

Dominik is currently based in Kuwait, a fresh influence on his style. For further info and contact details, please click here. Also you can follow him on facebook here.

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...

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.
