Introducing Moushi


I love scouting for new talents in our region and shedding a light on new and upcoming designers. Especially when they're in the early stages of their career. And I can imagine how challenging it is to set a name for your brand in one of the toughest industries around. So this post is my way of showing some support to emerging fashion talents.

The other day I had the pleasure of being introduced to a new brand from a neighbouring country, Saudi Arabia, called Moushi.  Moushi is a high-end brand that offers casual chic and evening wear.  The Riyadh-based brand is founded by Mashael Alfaris, a young talented Saudi fashion designer. "My dream is to build a successful international brand and share my creativity and imagery with the world" expressed Alfaris to Confashions From Kuwait.

She has graduated from a prestigious fashion school Art and Skills institute collaborated with Educational Partner Box Hill Institute - Melbourne- Australia in 2009.  "I knew since I was a kid I would be working in the art field, but I never imagined myself growing to become a fashion designer. My hobby since I was in kindergarten is drawing figures. Then when i reached third grade I used to draw anime and distribute them to my classmates at school so they would color them. I was so inspired by the Japanese animation "manga" and how girls look so beautiful and feminine.  As I got older, I became inspired by fashion magazines, fashion designers, and trends. Fashion to me is not only clothes to wear, it's imagination, identity, it's art it self. " stated Alfaris.

"I am always inspired by the 50's and 60's glamourous style. I love how women looked at that time. They were so immaculate and elegant. In addition, I am also inspired by urban fashion style. I try to combine between classic and urban look to create a new modern impression." said Alfaris. 

Featured here some of Moushi's designs for her glamorous evening gowns line. Find out more about Moushi here.

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 .
