The "Italian Style" Fashion & Design Exhibition

A week ago I had a post about Al Ostoura's "Italian Style" Exhibition. And as promised here are some photos (click on the images to enlarge) and info about the exhibition.

The "Italian Style" exhibition was held at the Al-Thuraya Complex in Salmiya under the auspices of the Italian Ambassador to Kuwait, Giorgio Di Pietrogiacomo.


This exhibition highlighted the deep bond that links art and the fashion industry where creativity and innovation have distinguished the ‘Made in Italy’ for ages. Major creations by the experts of fashion and design were displayed at the exhibition. The main theme was excellence: house decorating and dressing up in luxury Italian brands in a very innovative way. The exhibition displayed famous pieces of furniture from Zanotta, Kartell, Stoppino, Castiglioni Brothers, Colombo, Citerrio, Laviani and Formitalia-Mirabili.




Here are some photos of innovative and very artistic furniture which was displayed at the exhibition. I loved the floor lamp and the big red rose chair. Click on the images to enlarge.

actually this furniture is not for Al-Ostoura it's an exhibition hosted by them for unique designs by famous Italian designers, which was presented to show the evolution that those designers made through out the world.

I have seen the exhibition some of these things were in movies back in the 60s or something, it was a great experience reviewing all those stuff in Kuwait, NONE OF THESE STUFF WERE FOR SALE! it's their identity as I was told from the Italians that were there

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 .
