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?
Dar al-Athar al-Islamiyyah held an evening reception to celebrate the end of it's 14th Annual Cultural year at the Al Americani Cultural Centre last Wednesday. Guests were invited to explore the lovely historic building and discovered presentations related to Dar Al-Athaar's past, present, and future. My favourite sections were: 1) the old photos installation of AMH, as shown in the above photo. And the Mezzari exhibition shown in the below photos.
The Mezzari showcased ancient Italian artistic fabrics, dating back to the late 18th and 19th centuries. ''Mezzari" became popular by the middle of the eighteenth century, when in Genoa women used them to cover themselves or as headdresses.
