Event: Qirdala Showcases Dori Mouzannar and Alia Mouzannar's Collection in-store

Kuwait-based mulit-brand jewelry shop Qirdala hosted an event to showcase the 6th generation of the Mouzannar legacy, Beirut-based fine jewelry creators Dori Mouzannar and Alia Mouzannar's latest designs.

The event also showcased the Silence Cuff, a diamond-encrused cuff bracelet designed by celebrated architect and talented designer Zaha Hadid in collaboration with the House of Aziz and Walid Mouzannar. I personally liked the collection displayed by the Mouzabbar family more than Zaha Hadid's cuff. Don't get me wrong, I love Zaha Hadid's architectural designs, but her collaborations in the fashion industry were not really a big hit. At least in my humble opinion. Like the Melissa shoes, Lacoste shoes, and the United Nude limited edition haute couture shoes. Not my thing. But what Hadid done for the mobile Chanel Pavilion gallery that spent the bulk of 2008 traveling the world, was beyond amazing.

Anyhow, Dori Mouzannar and Alia Mouzannar's latest designs are now on display at Qirdala in AlTilal Complex.

The earrings which I previously posted about on my blog here. these beauties can be worn in 3 different ways.

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.
