Symphony's Display Style


As I mentioned in my previous post, the official launch party of Symphony Boutique featured the unveiling of the Tinkah Studio art installation titled Symphony No.7: The Arrival of Her Garments, which is produced by local Emirati ladies. The window display featured hanging ropes, suspended books and sketches of the Symphony designers runway looks. The installation also seeped into the store, with The Tinkah Studio replacing the store furnishing with specially made pillow covers and carpets. The Tinkah Studio translated Symphony’s AW10 theme of “Abra...Cadabra!” into travel, owing to the fact that the abra is a boat which is steeped in the Middle East’s history and culture and has long been used as a method of transport. The Dubai Creek, which is where the abra’s are docked, was the economic hub of Dubai before oil was discovered. The Tinkah Studio’s creation, entitled Symphony No.7: The Arrival of Her Garments, explored how these beautiful garments arrive in Dubai and the magic of how an idea is translated into a garment and then shipped far and wide for women to enjoy and procure.

It was really nice, I think not all of their A/W 2010 collections were on display though but I'm assuming in a couple of weeks time, the stock will be packed with all things which we want to have in our closets!

Magical Mode

As anyone who regularly reads Confashions may know, there are some designers I’ve been obsessed with for quite some time: one is the genius Erdem , the other is Nicholas Kirkwood , and Pierre Hardy . And because their designs are somehow easily accessible online and offline, I had the pleasure of featuring some of their creations and showing them the love they deserve. That said, there is one designer I’ve been particularly smitten with for quite some time. He has always been on the top of my favorite designers list ever since I was introduced to his designs by my fabulous fellow fashionisto Adnan Z Manjal   a couple of years back : Saudi designer Mohammed Ashi . I always wished I featured him more. I couldn’t because his pieces are very exclusive and as far as I know not stocked anywhere here. This clearly isn't just another post on my obvious love for Mohammed Ashi’s designs or the quality of his clothes as I have done that previously. Ashi simply deserves his very own epic p...

Altuzarra or Aquazzura?

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?

My Birkin... My Pride & Joy

Birkin ... Birkin .. Birkin ... you mesmerize me.. I'm so addicted to yoooooou . sitting galmorously in my closet is my hard earned blue Hermes Birkin Bag. To own it is like the ultimate fashionista dream. I look at it lovingly and think to myself " daaaamn ! you are one hell of a lucky girl! I shall protect you from the evil eye 'till the day I die ". My friend asked me once why am I so obsessed with my Birkin . I can list 100 reasons why. But just to be short & sweet, it's exclusive, expensive ( I saw a Birkin in vogue with diamonds on it's hardware. How much do you think it costs? ), it's hand crafted , it takes 2 whole weeks of dedication to produce one, and it's THE bag everyone in the fashion world admires. During a recent visit to The Comfort Shoe at Mariam Complex , I came across a Birkin look alike ( shown in the pictures above ). I have to admit, from afar the bag actually looked good. So I went in to check it out. And THANK GO...
