First Look at Nada Debs Selection for AlOthman Pop Up

Oh wow! It feels great to post again on the blog! I'm not going to give excuase or dwell on my lack of posting on the blog. So let's get starigh to business. First thing's first. I'm sure by now you have heard about Nada Debs' showcase at AlOthman Pop Up. This is the second event I started working on and I'm so excited about it! 

AlOthman's Pop Up will be hosting a special showcase of furniture and home accessories by Lebanese brand Nada Debs. The opening reception will be held in the presence of the designer on the evening of Sunday 25th September, and will continue until Thursday 29th September.

Nada Debs' designs deserve a lot of respect and appreciation. She has successfully managed to embody our Arabic culture using contemporary designs. Very very few home accessories designer managed to present us with such uniqueness and creativity, and the proof of Nada Debs's success is the hundreds of copied designs by other "designers", but you know what they say 'Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness.'

According to Nada Debs' website, the designer, of Lebanese origin, was raised in Japan. She studied interior architecture at the Rhode Island School of Design in the United States, starting her first company in the UK, designing and producing custom furniture. After a 40 year hiatus, Nada Debs’ Levantine spirit brought her home to Beirut, where she discovered that designs for modern Middle Eastern furniture were non-existent. She then established her company East and East, where the brand fuses Eastern tradition and minimalism. Her multicultural approach attracted the attention of the design world. Today Nada operates from Beirut and is represented globally, delivering to the world.

Glamorous Evening

I'm a wee bit late with my Dubai posts, which I have visited during the Eid holiday, as I've been quite busy lately with some side projects. There is just not enough time to get everything done, need to work on my time management skills. Oh well, you know what they say, better late than never. So in this post I'll be sharing with you some few evening gowns and cocktail dresses which took my breath away, three of which I've spotted at Symphony Boutique located at Dubai Mall. Check out this glamorous Zac Posen (if my memory serves me right) strapless gown shown in the photo above, I know that Zac Posen is stocked in AlOthman boutique as well, not sure if they have this one in stock. Symphony also had this extravagant red gown with puff embroidered sleeves on the window display also by Zac Posen . And while shopping around Bloomingdale's Dubai , I spotted this block-colored cocktail dress which looked very familiar and then when I read the brand's name

Delicate Armour

Raised in Dubai and living between London and the UAE, Central Saint Martins graduate, Delia Covezzi , has been quietly cultivating her reputation as a talented clothing and accessory designer. Following successful apprenticeships with Stella McCartney and Tata Naka, she went on to design and produce exclusive collections for a range of top boutiques in Europe and the Middle East. I took a look at Covezzi's S/S 2010 collection and immediately noticed the mix of contrasting elements of her pieces. Sharp tailoring in hues of silver and dove grey, and classic black and white, with a hint of bold coral hues and delicate graphic prints, from soft French chiffons to crisp Italian organza; from textured pearl satins to finely-ribbed silk twills; adding an edge to the feminine yet bold look. According to Delia , the S/S 2010 collection draws inspiration from the visual and structural similarities between armour and bird’s plumage. Delia’s fascination of how something so strong and st
