ESME VIE Fashion Show at Italian Couture Week AltaRoma


I just received by e-mail these beautiful images of an emerging brand called ESME VIE. The brand recently debuted its Summer 2015 collection preview at Italian Couture Week AltaRoma

According to the brand's press release, ESME VIE has been embraced from its first beginning by big names in the field of fashion. Already before the official brand launch, ESME VIE has been declared winner of the last year’s 2013 edition of the internationally renowned “Who Is On Next” contest for emerging fashion designers hosted by AltaRoma and Vogue Italia, and subsequently inserted in
the selection of Vogue Talents. The brand is already stocked at Moda Operandi and Harrods.

Inspired by the colours of summer, from shades of seaside and sky blue to the pink and violet hues of late spring and early summer flowers, the collection featured a combinations of cocktail dresses, some vintage-inspired, with a touch of couture thanks to the embellished rich flower decorations. Each single garment and accessory is exclusively hand-made and tailored in Italy.

I really liked some of the pieces featured in their preview, like the ones shown here. They kind of reminded me of Giambattista Valli's couture pieces.

She was in who's on next when i was working there! Totally the new conservative wave of long skirts and colour stories. Would do great in the ME. If you like her you'd love Isa Arfen. I feel she is a bit more experimental.

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...
