Sneak Peak Of AlSabah Art & Design Gallery's Privte Event

Last night was the private viewing of Sheikh Majed Al-Sabah's new art gallery and we got a sneak preview thanks to one special reader. Sheikh Majed has commissioned two Swiss artists Comenius Roethllsberger & Admir Jahic To develop a series of work in memory of Arab icons. The exhibition is a tribute to celebrity figures of the Arab world put together with snippets of the regions energetic youth culture in work such as crazy Arab car stunts and girl afraid of her own shadow.

VIVA participated in the event as an Internet host in the first AlSabah Art & Design Collection Gallery defining the concept of art meets technology.

There was also a gift shop inside the Gallery called I Love Souk which sells items all designed by Shaikh Majed. The items represent the region's heritage in a very fashionable manner and very affordable prices. The gallery is open to the public today at Al Corniche.

U know what dissapoints me?
the fact that we Kuwaitis cannot aknowledge the effort Sheik Majed Al Sabah has put into opening a Kuwaiti based department store that is slowly growing into a worldwide sensation, and instead most Kuwaitis will walk around trying to break his spirits and bring him down, while in Dubai Sheik Majed is being praised and supported by people of the elite society and is even given unique opertunities to help him grow bigger :)
Ive heard from a Villa Moda worker in Dubai that an Emarati business man has baught 70% of Villa Modas shares "i believe to help Sheik Majed out with the business and expansion" while Sheik Majed is still working as the Head of the Company.
Its a shame how our business men/women are being helped out and aknowledge by outsiders when we have all the ability in Kuwait but we dont have ducated poeple who bother thinking about acknowledging such efforts :(

Sorry if there are any Typos or grammar mistakes wrote this in a hurry hope my message is clear ;)

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 .
