Lovely Lara

In the midst of the rapid growth of new and emerging fashion designers in our region, whether talented or talentless, it’s always a treat to find someone who can produce the same, if not better, quality and creativity of high-end designer brands. Allow me to introduce you to a new Beirut-based talent: Lara Khoury.

Lara Khoury, a 26 year old ESMOD graduate with a strong passion for designing couture-like pieces, has joined fashion designer Elie Saab in Beirut in September 2006 to learn more about this mesmerizing industry. Fast forward to 2009, Lara became one of the few designers chosen by renowned Labense fashion designer Rabih Kayrouz to be a part of Starch Boutique in Beirut, a laboratory of new ideas, and showroom for contemporary young Lebanese designers.

In 2010, Lara Khoury found the assurance to launch her first collection; and opened her own studio and workshop in the heart of Beirut. Her Spring 2011 collection was recently launched among friends and esteemed guests.

On May 2011, Lara Khoury was selected to represent Lebanon on the second generation of the Maison Méditerranéenne des Métiers de la Mode in Marseille (France). The program offers a platform for artistic and cultural cooperation between Euro-Mediterranean countries to unite, reveal and support young fashion designers based on both sides of the Mediterranean Sea.

Featured here are some of my favorite Lara Khoury designs from her recent and previous collections. I love how she mixes opulence with minimalism. There is always one interesting point of detail to focus on. Each item gives the illusion of constant movement flowing through fabrics. So pretty!

For more information, orders, or inquiries, please call (+961) 1 44 34 26. Lara Khoury headquarters is located at 406 Gouraud street, Gemayzeh, Beirut, Lebanon.

Chanel Dubai Cruise 2015 Collection

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

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?

To New Beginnings...

"What did this Corona crisis teach you?" my friend asked. My first thought was thing crisis has opened my eyes on the simple pleasures of life. My priorities have changed. And I feel every day is a new beginning. First of all, it made me realize how much I miss blogging. How simple and mentally satisfying it was to jolt down my thoughts on a field that I was very passionate about. I have to admit that I'm not as passionate now. Don't get me wrong, I still like fashion, but it's now on the bottom of my priorities list. I would like to blog about other things too that I feel much related to. I recently discovered that I do enjoy cooking. For the longest time, cooking to me was a nightmare.  This corona crisis has taught us that we can look forward to a new day with new possibilities to contribute or to help another, or to simply approach things differently, and most importantly to make the most of each day we have and share that goodness with others.
