Chanel has come through yet again with a seris of stunning visual art works that represent their  5 branding symbols that are Mademoiselle Chanel, Black & White pearls, Diamond Padding, Cammelia and Art Deco. These displays are shown in Far East Asia and have been adapted to various display formats. We love how uber urban they look.

DAS in Abu Dhabi ?

DAS, the rising Emirati brand of fashionable Abayas, comes to Abu Dhabi with an exlcusive 12 hour viewing at the Presidential Suite, Shangri-La Abu Dhabi. This viewing was geared to their "out of town" elite client base of Abu Dhabi, where they not only wanted their clients to shop, as it was also a chance for DAS to get to know their "out of town" customer, give and get feedback, and spend some quality one on one time with Hind Beljafla....along with a yummy dose of Maison Sucre cupcakes ofcourse.

Browsing past the beautiful luxurious gowns and abaya racks, I couldnt help not going home without buying myself THE most coveted DAS item, the signature piece! Complimented with a CYKAS turban, I need not worry about bad hair days, nor struggle with what to wear under my abaya. Smart eh ;)

All my blessings and love goes to the gracious Hind Beljafla for putting together a "for your eyes only" viewing all the way in Abu Dhabi and to Reem Beljafla for being with us in spirit. The next step is to open a branch for us die hard DAS'ians, dont you think?

Ohh not to mention, I finally got the chance to meet the talented fashion illustrator Moza Mattar. Hmm...perhaps its time to get a wall makeover for my room.

The French lingerie house Etam, recently hosted one of the biggest lingerie shows at France's historic Grand Palais. With a bang on star studded sizzling show, Alexa Chung, Kate Moss and the fashion guru Stefano Pilati, were one of the front row attendees of the ultra sexy runway show. Not to mention performances by the fast rising star, Janelle Monae. Ensembles put together for the show were a mix of naughty but nice collections. You know what caught our eye? The Super Model, Natalia Vodianova looking oh-so-innocent as "Marry had a little lamb".

It's the Mercedes Benz Fashion week for Autumn/Winter and we just cant stop covetting some of these runway looks.

Lever Couture is one of the designers that simply scream femininity this season. With soft plaid metallics, ruffles and shiffons, there is no way this designer has gone wrong.

Lena Hoschek captured the true sense of  Autumn with her designs through these colors and looks. Plaids, floral prints, Jacky kennedy high waisted capri pants, hot satin blouses and A pencil skirts.

Unrath and Strano went with a more strong but still feminine ensembles of browns, black and gold.

Burberry's evolving S/S 11 campaign

What could be more dynamic than an evolving campaign? Yes, Burberry is who we are speaking of. The british luxury brand is hitting it big yet again with their new concept of an evolving ad campaign for S/S 2011, where new cast members will be revealed EACH month! Such creative efforts are in line to showcase the pouring stream of constant product launches that are comprehensive of all Burberry sub brands such as Burberry Prorsum, Burberry Brit, Burberry Accesories and Burberry London, across all stores, online and offline.

Christopher Bailey, Burberry's CEO reveals in a press release, "We wanted to create a dynamic, evolving campaign that reflects the diversity of our broad global consumer, revealing new British cast members each month, all with their own identity, embodying the different attitudes of the Burberry guy and girl. We shot the campaign on Brighton beach to celebrate the great British outdoors and our history of supporting emerging talent and to bring life to the emotion behind protection from the elements."

Burberry has defintely come a long way ever since Bailey took reigns. He has succesfully brought Burberry closer to the youth and that is due to integrating modern methods of outreach, namely Social Media, Online fashion shows, E-commerce. Kudos to Burberry for knowing how to walk the walk ;)

Fatma and Noor Al-Thani are the two dynamic duo who ventured into launching a magazine and creating an exclusive private launch for high profile invitees in collaboration with Matches Fashion & Iman Pasha.

Oliva Palermo was the special guest flown all the way from America. She was an absolute breath of fresh air and a pleasure to have amidst all us Khaleeji ladies. Clad in an alexander McQueen white dress and a Bottega clutch, She was looked nothing short of FAHBULOUSS. Olivia was styled by the wonderful personal stylist, Iman Pasha who was one of the hosts of the event.

The event was nothing short of a hit, more than a 100 ladies were in attendance, including some who flew all the way from the UAE and Kuwait to Doha for this elegant vernissage. Everything was perfect, from the clothes, canapes, cupcakes (triple C effect eh) and wonderful company. Come March, keep a close eye on the shelves for Haute Muse's first copy, featuring Olivia Palermo as their muse.

All the love and thanks to Fatima, Noor and their dedicated team for single handedly pulling off a succesful event. Mabrook ladies.
