Event: Avenue32XTheOverdressed


Last Saturday I missed going to an exclusive shopping event hosted by Dana Al Khalifa, of TheOverdressed.com, and online retailer Avenue32.com in Bahrain's Green Bar’s headquarters.

Roberta Benteler, founder of Avenue32.com, explained to shoppers the novel concept of Avenue32.com which came to her when she started working with a young designer to gain experience in fashion. The concept for Avenue 32 is that it's a platform where designers can showcase their product in their own ‘shop in a shop’, accompanied by editorial.

Dana was dressed in Tanya Taylor while Roberta was dressed in Giles Deacon. The black brass rails were lined with the designs of JJS Lee, Charlie Brear, and Regina Pyo to name a few. The shoe ladder display was scattered with the sleek lines of Paul Andrew and the stunning designs of Alexander Lewis for Manolo Blahnik. The accessory section was draped in Degano and Elsa Marotta scarves, Venessa Arizaga necklaces and Lena Erziak clutches.

In the end, no one of course left empty handed, their giveaway bags contained a much coveted 10% discount card from Avenue32.com, Green Bar Body Oil, and Overdressed engraved William Di Carlo almond confetti all the way from Milano, because they know how to always end on a sweet note.

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...
