Seeing famous singer Yara wearing our own AIISHA dress from our latest collection Le Pouvoir de la Poudre was a beautiful result to meeting Yara herself and styling her with few of our pieces.
Yara is a famous Lebanese singer known for her beautiful voice, classiness and her beautiful way of singing the Khaleeji accent. When you listen to her, you get addicted to her sweet and perfect voice.
Below Yara wears AIISHA on the cover of top magazine Kul Al Usra.

As she became the face of Braun and came to Dubai to meet the press, we styled Yara in a few outfits that fit her like a glove and complimented her personality. Yara is well known for being more conservative than many other singers and she truly is a Class symbol!
Yara also looked flawless in this AIISHA champaign kaftan – available at Studio 8

I had the pleasure to be invited to the Kazakhstan Fashion Week and without any hesitation I accepted the invitation. For one, women from Kazakhstan are some of the most beautiful ones in the world who adore fashion and actually appreciate it. Secondly, after consideration, we accepted the invitation especially that Kazakhstan is becoming a fashion destination. Finally, I wanted to try a place that not many people have tried. I like to be a pioneer in discovering places hungry for creativity and art. My expectations were exceeded a million times. The professionalism and reception that my team and I were welcomed with were beyond any experience I have ever had. The passion that everybody showed to the Kazakhstan Fashion Week, from the organizers, to the models to our personal assistants was by all measures something I will cherish for life and learn from everyday.
I showcased my latest collection Le Pouvoir de la Poudre, the dearest collection to my heart by far for the first time in full officially at the Kazakhstan Fashion Week. This collection is essentially inspired by powder visions I saw on the beaches of the Côte d’Azur. Tones that I breathed in the air of Paris. In short, I put my heart in this collection and whether you like it or not, I’m sure you’ll appreciate the work I put in it. Did I mention that it snowed for the first time on the day of my fashion show? About a month earlier than anticipated..
We had a 3-day-exhibition where we met with buyers, a press conference and my show was the second day’s Finale.
For my show, I had a casting for nearly 200 professional models, of which I chose 24 gorgeous girls that represented a variety of looks. I presented about 35 looks leaving out some of the structured pieces, which I will post separately.

The part I mostly enjoyed was the choreography. I placed about 5 white lounge chairs on the beginning of the rectangular shaped 63 meters catwalk and had each model who didn’t have to change her outfit sit at or stand by the chair. By the end of the show, I had a perfect vision of princesses or mermaids, whatever you wanna call them, shaping the most perfect tableau. I swear that as I was doing my turn with Tunisian super model Faten and as I was approaching the girls seated as choreographed, I felt a thrill from the perfect vision I saw.

This was my tableau, these were my girls so proud of wearing my collection, looking so perfect in every way.
My show had about 700 people turn up, people who didn’t know me, but they came to see what a UAE based designer would bring to the table. I heard the clapping throughout the show and I saw the excitement on people’s faces as I walked the runway barefoot to greet them. In short, it was a success!
I want to thank the entire team of the Kazakhstan Fashion Week and the great city of Almaty for making this a memorable experience to us.
In Dubai, this collection is Exclusively stocked at FROST boutique in Palmstrip Center, Jumeirah Beach Road, Dubai – UAE.
At this time of the year, I was about to post a more “New Year” related topic; however, I just got a chance to watch all 3 Twilight Sagas one after the other. Following this incident, I couldn’t help but share with you the latest news on the celebrities who wore AIISHA.
On the 14th of November, 3 gorgeous women walked the red carpet at ”The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1″ premiere at Nokia Theater in L.A. wearing AIISHA couture pieces.
Jodelle Ferland known for her roles in the twilight saga “Eclipse”, and her upcoming roles in “The Tall Man” with Jessica Biel and Stephen Mchattie and “ParaNorman” with Anna Kendrick and Leslie Mann. Jodelle has been named the girl to watch in 2012.

This is why I love fashion, to see my designs take part of people’s lives.
Thanks to all these beautiful women for choosing AIISHA!
I have the pleasure to officially announce the presence of our latest Couture collection Le Pouvoir de la Poudre (The Power of Powder), at one of my favorite boutiques in the UAE, FROST.
FROST essentially handles exclusive bridal brands such as Oscar de la Renta and Marchesa to name a few. The AIISHA collection will be offering Couture evening gowns off the rack in different colors and sizes as well as custom-made ones.
This collection was showcased in the first ever 3D Virtual Fashion Show and like I previously said, it is by far the dearest and most favorite to my heart. Its inspired by powder tones and powerful cuts that I have envisioned during my repetitive trips to Paris and the Côte d’Azur. We have also recently presented it for the first time officially at the Kazakhstan Fashion Week.
Below are some of the pieces available at FROST.
Check our my collection that is exclusively “Chilling” at FROST boutique, Palmstrip Center, Jumeirah Beach Road, Dubai – UAE.
Soon I’ll post about introducing our latest collection at the Kazakhstan Fashion Week with photos of more sizzling designs.
The first womens Couture fashion show I ever watched during the Paris Fashion Week 2011 was for Georges Chakra at the Palais de Tokyo. Its worth mentioning that just before the show started I had a chance to view a very exclusive and one-on-one presentation for the latest Chanel J12 Chromatic watch. All in all, it was sensational. Very black and white.
I had to wrap up quickly and go to the backstage of Georges Chakra fashion show. I was fascinated by the generosity that Chakra loads in his creations. I have to say that it was my favorite show during the entire Paris Fashion Week. There’s so much regal and fresh feel to it all in one.
His inspiration was like most of the Lebanese designers, nature and flowers. That brought to my attention how the European designers were mostly inspired by certain characters. My favorite pieces involved a short fully CRYSTALLIZED by SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS dress and an coral/orange dress with a fully beaded tulle tight pants. Marvelous pieces. Yes, fully bling bling but in the most elegant way.
There was a tiny incident I enjoyed, that was when Mr. George Chakra was gonna have an interview with a TV station and he asked me to hold his telephone till he’s done. About 15 minutes later, his phone was ringing, and thats when I noticed that he’s forgotten his mobile with me!
On a separate note, a lot of people ask why are George Chakra’s creations so expensive. If you meet him and his staff, you’d be embraced with class and elegance. That alone makes you fall in love with the people behind the brand. But of course comes his beautiful designs, generosity in materials and crystals and a very fine end product. People, art is invaluable!
