“Do You” Rabih?

Lebanese designer Rabih Kayrouz known for his ultimate high fashion urbanite aesthetic produced his Winter 2012 collection under the title “Do you”.

Always a fan of relaxed chic, his pieces were beautiful creations that mimic modern warrior with their minimal gold cuffs and belts.

Rabih Kayrouz winter 2012 is now available at AlOthman!

Opening Hours

Trend Alert: Delicately Laced

London’s finest designers seem to have a soft spot to one of my favorite elements used in fashion: Lace.

Erdem was inspired by french actress Jeanne Moreau in her powerful yet feminine aura. Strong splashes of orange mixed with hues of tobacco were toned down by lace and floral appliques.

Preen, on the other hand, was inspired by the practicality of transitioning between seasons. Which means you can wear the pieces for summer (when the merchandise hits stores) and still be able to “winterize” them later on during the season. Very clever!

Both designers pre-fall collections are now available at AlOthman !

Get it While You Can!

This Monday we’ve got some exciting new pieces for everyday by Pierre Balmain. Add a little edge to your wardrobe with some chain adorned dresses and gold stud-detailed skinny jeans.

We’re starting this week with a Ramadan-inspired look from our Summer Campaign! Our stylist Confashion did a great job dressing up this simple kaftan! By adding stacks of beaded necklaces, a wide stone-embellished waist-belt, and lace-up Nicholas Kirkwoods, the model looked like she was ready to host a Ramadan feast!

Designer Spotlight: Brian Atwood

We would like to announce the exciting arrival of shoe designer Brian Atwood!

This alluring model turned designer started his career designing shoes for Versace and later launched his own footwear brand. Brian Atwood’s shoes were an instant hit and worn by the likes of Zoe Saldana, Demi Moore and Victoria Beckham.

Known for his infamous maniac pumps, his sky-rocketing career in womens footwear encouraged the designer into a newer and accessible shoe line called “B by Brian Atwood“.

“My idea of the woman, and that image of the woman that I design for,  she’s confident, she’s very sophisticated but she knows who she is.” Brian Atwood

Now available at AlOthman!

New Arrivals: Diane Von Furstenberg

Diane’s Pre-Fall 2012 collection was named “Macadam Diva” (Macadam is french for asphalt). Inspired by street-style punk the collection is a big swerve from the usual soft feminine takes the designer is infamous for. Colors reminiscent of traffic signals, hounds-tooth print, and of course leathery black were dominant in the collection making it truly inspired by the street.
