Now this is something I would def try! Al Othman's Fashion Buyer for a day?!?!? COUNT ME IN! Even if it was Fashion Buyer for a minute! Fellow Fashionistas, this is not just any retail shop fashion buying… this is Al OTHMAN's, experience the fun of being the one whose taste dictates what other women in Kuwait buy (ok ok.. I know it's only 6 looks and ONE brand, but where else would you be able to do that in this region! Read the O Blog to find out more.Are you in?

PS: if the onebrand you're refering to is Herve Leger, that is tricky.
All you have to do view Hervé Léger Fall 2009/2010 collection on www.style.com and select 6 looks which you think Al Othman team would buy. The winner will get a special treat from Al Othman.
Whatever the treat is, I think it's fun to try it out.
Alothman should specify a category (dresses, tops, shoes) and competitors should make one pick from this category from a selection of designers that AlOthman usually works. So let’s say they say you have to pick a top from the new season from the following designers: Oscar de La Renta, Temperly, Mathew Williamson, etc. Now let’s say I pick an Oscar De La Renta top and You pick a Mathew Williamson top and we’re the only two competitors. Well they bring samples of these tops in and put them on display for the competition and let’s say my Oscar top gets a lot of customers ordering from it while yours gets less orders – then I win a KD 200 voucher for Alothman. Something like that! Makes sense? All I’m saying is that I should get rewarded for having an eye for what CUSTOMERS want and not what the buyers have already chosen.
Thank you for your insightful comment. We will definitely take your suggestions into account when we prepare for future events.
With Regards to the "Fashion Buyer" questionnaire, I would like to assure you that the selection has not yet been made by the AlOthman Buying team, this will be done in March during the Paris Fashion week.
On the same note, any selection that the buyers will make is obviously based on what the customer would like and buy and the reason why we came up with this little event is to directly interact with our customers.
Regards to all and thank you for your interest
(Also, from a financial aspect I figured that some people might just order in a product to support their friend in the competition which should give in a nice and rather quick return for the store.)
