Did you catch our quick chat with Kris Jenner at the Atlantis Hotel?

You can also check out some of the upclose & personal photos with Kris Jenner & Kim Kardashian… only a few select people had the opportunity to meet them and we’re chuffed that we did!

Enjoy the vid!

By now, I’m officially in love with the Berlin fashion scene!

 

Unique structuring of patterns, unusual designs and experimental approach in fabric selection, that’s “Berlin Style” and I’m so much in love with it! Luckily, I was one of the fashion designers who have been selected for the Young Fashion Designer Exchange Project, part of the 2nd Berlin Dubai Festival 29th –Oct till 2nd Nov (organized by the Goethe-Institute) along with other wonderful Emirati designers Maryam Selaich and Madeyya Almazroie and the Dubai-based German-Egyptian designer Mona Fares, to visit Berlin and get interacted with the Berlin fashion scene.

 

Part of this program which was organized by Goethe-Institute and ‘Visit Berlin’, kindly supported by the German Airline, Air Berlin, we had the chance to visit ESMOD Berlin International University of Fashion, where we will be working with 4 other Berlin-based fashion designers, to develop a unique collection that combines the style of both of our inspiring cities: Dubai and Berlin.

 

Part of our program, we have visited different ateliers and stores of Berlin Fashion Labels such as Mongrels in Common, Lala Berlin and Kaviar Gauche. We had the chance to meet them personally! And that’s not all; we met very important bodies that are developing the fashion scene in Berlin such as INPOLIS and Create Berlin.

 

  

Wonderful tour within ESMOD Berlin and checking how young designers interpret the different kinds of fabrics to come up with their own different fabrics!

  

 

 

A visit to one of the classes, where young designers are learning how to develop the different inspiration broads and extract that on collections and accessories!

 

  

Fashionable discussion with ESMOD Berlin young designers who are visiting Dubai soon! (Wonderful designs girls and good job!)

  

Another fashionable discussion with Olivia and Christine for ‘Mongrels in Common’ (amazing Berlin-base fashion labels that’s really worth the watch), very elegant and creative; I loved their signature buttons on the shirts!

 

  

Create Berlin and INPOLIS meeting; at the inspiring historical place, Café Rix, Berlin! Honestly I totally loved the paintings in the café!

 

  

Socially responsible fashion brands in Berlin is the new trend, my wonderful fashion designer friends, Maryam Selaich and Mona Fares; discussing designs of FORMAT and Treches.

“We can’t wait to welcome the 4 young fashion designers who will be coming from Berlin to Dubai, to be introduced to the local fashion design scene. The 8 of us will be working on developing a collection that will be influenced by Dubai and Berlin styles, and this collection will be presented early next year.”

 

Stay Stylish!

A girl can never have enough Choo’s…

Have you seen Jimmy Choo’s AW’11 ad campaign?

Filmed by fashion photographer Steven Meisel - the campaign drew inspiration from cinematic 70s Parisian glamour.

Described by the Choo team - the ad “conveys the darker, subversive side of femininity. Meisel lenses model Raquel Zimmermann in the old-world glamour of New York City’s Waldorf Astoria and captures a scene of stolen, or perhaps forbidden, romance”.


“The collection of Jimmy Choo shoes and handbags takes its cue from the early ’70s and the sultry stars of the time; icons Catherine Deneuve, Charlotte Rampling, and Veruschka, all admired as much for their beauty and style on-camera, as for their allure and innate sense of style off-camera”.
