Olay White Radiance features new whitening technology that works to penetrate skin cells, eight surface cell layers deep, delivering skin fairness with an even tone and soft glow from deep within.

To celebrate just how innovative White Radiance is, Olay has launched a competition for you to create your own dazzling innovation and design your dream dress.

4. Design your dress then log on to www.olayarabia.com and use your entry code to upload your design.

You have till June 15th to do that, after which competition will be closed. A judging panel made up of fashion and beauty industry experts including myself, top magazine editors and an Olay representative will choose one winner from the UAE and one winner from KSA.

A Barbie® Story

Saturday, October 31st, 2009

It all started with a phone call, and I was jumping with joy.

Barbie is celebrating her 50th birthday and I was invited with other designers to sketch some designs to dress her up for the occasion. Mattel assigned a panel of judges to meet and choose the designs they deem fit for Barbie. I have to admit, I didn’t spare a minute, I was sketching designs without counting, ended up with 25 or more, but I only submitted 16 to the panel, which to my surprise they chose 3 of my sketches to be produced and and go on the catwalk.

As some of you might know, I am in the midst of preparing of my own fashion show in collaboration with Victoria Casal Jewellery and participation from Manolo Blahnik shoes and its taking most of my time, I don’t even have time to update this blog, but I found the time to produce 3 pieces :)

On the 29th of October, 2009 the designs found their way to this year’s Dubai Fashion Week Grand Finale, the Barbie Fashion Show.
