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.

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.

Chanel Bags on Discount?!

If you thought that getting a cheap Chanel bag that's within your budget is something too far fetched, then think again. You'll be surprised to know that Chanel's boutique located at Salhiya Complex is currently selling several bags, that are a maximum 1 or 2 seasons old, on discount . And we're not talking about a 2 or 5% discount here, these bags are 50% off their original price! For some reason I always thought that Chanel bags never go on sale. But I guess the printed ones or the ones that are made out of the collection's main fabric have to go on sale. Anyways, I managed to take photos of these 2 beauties. What I love about those bags is that they're a classic shape that never goes out of style, their print is young and refreshing, plus they're quilted. I think they could be a collector's item. Both bags featured here are sold for approximately KD 250 .
