Event: Toni Maticevski's Trunk Show at AlOthman

Throughout my blogging and work career, I have met a lot of fashion designers and international influential people from the fashion industry. I have to say that Australian fashion designer Toni Maticevski, was one of the friendliest and most genuine I have ever met. The talented designer visited Kuwait on Wednesday 26th November to celebrate the launch of his Resort 2015 collection at AlOthman boutique. Guests of the event were also able to preview and reserve Toni Maticevski's SS2015 Ready-to-Wear collection.

First, here's a little background about the designer which I found on his website, Maticevski was established in 1999 and it offers exquisitely designed and crafted garments in beautiful feminine shapes and fabrics displaying his attention to detail, his skill in dressing the female form, and his mastery of drape and cuts.

I first met him a day before the actual event and was really surprised by his humbleness and how approachable he was. He talked about his background, originally from Macedonia, how he was overwhelmed and flattered by the feedback from middle eastern clients on his instagram account, and his admiration to how trendy and flawless the women looked in Kuwait.

On the night of the Trunk show, there was a special performance by the talented singer Nada Sharak and the talented guitarist Khalid, they played beautiful music, which set the mood right. Scroll down for highlights of the night as well as shots of super stylish guests! Enjoy!

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.
