Spotted these very Chanel-eque knitted black/white stitch short cardigan with tipping on placket and pockets at TopShop store in the Avenues. I think they make a good high-street purchase to kick-off the fall shopping sprees. Price tag? KD 27.
I can't remember if I shared my views about Chanel's Dubai Cruise 2015 Collection on my blog or not, but I thought I'd share with you some photos of the pieces on display now at Chanel Boutique in Kuwait, Prestige in the Avenues and Salhiya Complex. I wasn't too crazy about the clothes. However, I did like some of the bags which had pompoms and tassels on them, as well as the gigantic pearl clutch. I also loved the Moroccan-inspired pointy flats and the silver jewelry adorned with coins and crescents. Of course the shoes were sold out in my size and I wasn't so crazy about the patterned ones. I LOVED the flap bag with Pom Poms, but it was above my budget. Overall the collection felt more Moroccan than Dubai-an. I wish if they have incorporate more of the our gulf region's culture into the designs. Oh And I added to this post photos of Chanel's milk carton shaped python clutch bag embellished with a CC signature. They're not part of the Dubai colle

I am against copying the exact designs and styles of designer collection because the said designer has worked really hard to create and offer something beautiful and new and I can totally understand how it must feel for them to see their work mass produced by high street retailers. That said, sometimes high street stores get inspired by a trend (not copy and exact look) and add certain elements that makes it look different, then I think it's acceptable.
