Confashions From Kuwait

When our fashionisto Yousef Al Taher shared his invites on instagram from some of the biggest names in the fashion world to attend the menswear fashion show during Paris fashion week, I knew I'll be in for a treat. Yousef has e-mailed me photos sharing the highlights of his super exciting trip, his favorite looks from the fashion shows and presentations he has attended like  Dries van Noten , Dior , Kenzo , Lanvin , Paul Smith , Henrik Vibskov , to name a few.

There is nothing I love more than statement accessories (shoes included). They are probably the first stuff I look forward to the most when fashion weeks hit the fashion capitals of the world and when new collections start hitting the shop floors. So, in today's London/Paris report, courtesy of my beloved sister, we take a look at some of the statement accessories we're lusting for at the moment, starting with this cute Karl Lagerfeld ring, Shourouk's swarovski-crystal clusters adorned with neon and brightly colored beads and dazzling details (can be found here and here ), and ending it on a high note with Prada's jewelry collection and its oh-so-pretty enamel rosettes detail.

The second Muscat Fashion Week wrapped up last week at Riyam Park as designers from Oman and neighboring countries presented their takes on the Arab woman 2012. Seema Sangra, one of the journalists covering Muscat Fashion Week was kind enough to share with me these photos taken during this year's event showcasing the creativity and the diversity of Middle-Eastern and South Asian fashion designers who participated in MFW, such as Kubra Al Qaseer ,  Ayesha Depala , Nawal Al Hooti , Amina Al Jassim , and Hanaa Al-Wahaibi to name a few. Seema also provided me with a brief description of some of the featured designers and their work.
