Glam Your Evening

There are girls who start a “one-season-fashion-line” just because, and then there are girls who start a FASHION LINE with passion. Jenan Al-Fares is a Kuwaiti designer with a penchant for color, a ton of energy, and no shortage of creativity. She’s not new to the local fashion scene that’s for sure. In the past years, she has launched her line Jenan, hosted many exhibitions, and has her own showroom. And I admit, I haven’t been to any of them, but I have seen a few notable pieces on my friends. But today, thanks to the new-age of marketing using the facebook, I was able to view her latest glamorous eveningwear collection online. Mind you, I didn’t inspect the gowns up-close and personal but from what I’ve seen in the photos, I was completely impressed. There seems to be attention to detail and I loved how she added unexpected soft ruffles and ruching to the designs. In brief, the collection had a slightly 80’s/40’s feel, peppered with flirty details. Here are some of my favorite designs.

Jenan showroom is located in Jabrya block 1a, Street 6, bldg 24, first floor. You can contact Jenan at (+965) 66128238 or send an e-mail to jenanalfaris@gmail.com.

Well, i'm gonna go completely blunt regarding what I saw..
I've purchased before custom made items and garments and dresses made by kuwaiti designers but i was utterly dissapointed by what I saw 2day ..
the finishing was terrible , the sewing mark were all over and the fabrics were abused !
I'm sorry jenan u've got really good idea's but not the cleanest finish..
But the pictures sure look more amazing than the real thing..

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 .
