Well, Ashi's caftans to be more specific. Remember my post announcing that the stunning caftan collection of Ashi Studio by Mohammed Ashi will be coming soon to Kuwait? Well, they're here! Live and kicking at Al Othman Boutique. Get'em while you can!
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

The price range is around KD 800- KD 2,000.
Yes it's quite pricey, but this collection caters to very fancy or very formal ghabgas or even can be worn for weddings. Not justifiable nor practical for day-to-day casual events.
he already doubled his prices from last year..
I bought one of the dresses from this collection and I couldn't be happier! so delicate! beautiful organza and great cuts!
I'd put his dresses next to Lanvin and Dior!
Great work Ashi! love your designs :)
and the dresses don't look like kaftans :)
Hmm.. what makes you say that? I hope he won't double his prices by next year! I want to be able to buy his stuff :P

Love Ashi too! He has truly raised the bar high for fashion designers in our region, along side Rabih Kayrouz and Elie Saab...
