I have just come across a new Kuwaiti brand called RAINS. The debut collection is mainly focused on designing casual chic button-down shirts for your everyday errands. The designer perceives fashion as a therapy where people can express their feelings through the way they dress. According to the designer, she designs depending on the seasons of her life and the feeling that comes with it. 

Her passion to fashion goes all the way back when she was a little girl. And today as she's in her twenties  she has decided to follow her own dreams. "My collection name indicates astrology with Rains being my forename, and Suheyl, my surname, which literally translates to the star Canopus." expressed RAINS designer. 

The tops can easily paired with cropped or skinny jeans, or you can even pair them with floral/printed skirts for an easy breezy summery look. 

To order or for further information, please send an e-mail to rainskwt@gmail.com or visit her instagram account here.

Keeping up with the digital age, Fustany.com just got a makeover and re-launched its website with a new online experience. As one of the leading online fashion destinations in the Middle East, Fustany.com is set to rival the digital fashion space with a contemporary take offering its readers a daily dose of fashion, beauty and lifestyle with a focus on the oriental versus the international scene.

To mark the re-launch of the website, Fustany.com has released a campaign titled "Fustany.com revolutionizing fashion in the Middle East" aiming to make a bold statement by shedding the light on the leading role that fashion takes in our lives. The campaign with its revolutionary approach is a reminder that fashion is an art of self expression, carrying a message to all Middle Eastern women to live a creative life, be empowered and inspired to celebrate their own unique selves in different aspects of their lives. "Fustany.com revolutionizing fashion in the Middle East" features a soundtrack by the Egyptian Rap artist Zap Tharwat highlighting the freedom of self expression; what the Fustany.com team aims to portray.

In a step to spread revolutionary fashion vibes, Fustany.com readers will be encouraged to participate in the conversation by using #FashionRevolution, readers can share their #FashionRevolution images through Twitter and Instagram, images should represent your own definition of a Fashion Revolution. Whether it's a daring item or a new artistic piece, take it to the streets and snap your pictures because this is a #FashionRevolution. 

Amira Azzouz, Founder and Editor-in-Chief said, "As a person who has witnessed the Arab Spring specially its uprising in Egypt, it was only natural to have been inspired by the Egyptian revolution and its impact on our daily lives, and that's how the idea of the campaign was sparked." Amira added, "With the new Fustany.com online experience, we're staying true to what we believe in; inspiring women to live a life full of creativity, and we've decided to have tailored content for the English and Arabic editions of the website, tackling subjects of interest to different types of readers."

The twenty-something illustrator, designer and blogger always knew she wanted to have her own line, “ I guess it’s a cliché, but I always wanted to create something with both fashion and graphic design. The whole process of Fyunka started from a thought after observing women and their love for things that they cannot easily attain. This would later form the basis for the design series “ بابا ابغى بيركن ” “ Dad, I want a Birkin”. It all started from a design I posted on my blog! After that, my design got published in two other blogs and from there it went viral. I thought of creating other designs, meanwhile everyone around me suggested I start printing my designs on T-shirts but I really wanted to print it on something that people would carry around everywhere.”

Balkhy’s gut instinct was right and the printed designs on totes became an instant hit. Since the debut of her brand,
Alaa has expanded her collection from totes to other must have fashion accessories including notebooks. Creating her own line came with its own set of challenges; from making sure the colors came out just right, multiple visits to the printers, to the lack of professional factories. Alaa’s sheer determination and support from loving family and friends saw her overcome the obstacles to create one of Saudi Arabia’s favorite homegrown brands. Describing one of her favorite parts of creating a Fyunka item Balkhy recalls ecstatically, “Seeing the prints printed on canvas!! That is the most scary and exciting part! Every time I hope the colors are right and the size is perfect also. It makes my DAY when I see someone wearing a Fyunka!”

Alaa credits her graphic design background in helping her to create and launch her line, “ I was able to do everything from the logo to branding right down to the illustrations. Fyunka is a one-person project! ... Graphic design really came to play a big role when it came to the totes but as I moved on to purses and clutches, it was more about the structure of the bags. My bags cater to college students the most or maybe you can call them the Blogger’s Bag!” She also credits her success to the creative atmosphere around her in the Hijaz province and in Jeddah in particular. With an influx and mix of many different cultures and art forms, Jeddah’s milieu is the perfect starting point for a career in the creative field. Alaa’s love for her homeland is infectious as she lights up describing her beloved city, “I love Jeddah; the culture is the most amazing thing, the people and the stories! The fact that you can wake up in the morning and go get breakfast and eat it by the sea. The fact that Makkah is 30 minutes away, people are so friendly and you can feel the spirit of Hejaz in the old balad. I love the fact that even though sometimes a few things bother me I just adore this city!”

A culmination of Arabian culture and elements of pop, Fyunka's designs have always been captivated by the fashion industry, as has the designer herself. Describing what gets her inspired, Alaa explains, “Fashion week! I mean at first it was the classics: the classic Chanel, the Birkin, the Constance and then whenever something was a hit or an “it” bag I created an illustration for it! I get inspired by the street photography outside fashion week whether it is Paris, London or Milan. For example the Miu Miu glitter heels and the Charlotte Olympia were limited editions because they would only be “it” pieces for 6 months.”

With a witty attitude noticeable within her designs, Alaa is quick to point out that her intent is not really about criticizing the surrounding culture but more about bringing a sense of humor and an edge. “Every girl wants to fit in and I don’t want to generalize but what you wear is important and some people have to have a Birkin or a Chanel bag and it comes to a point where you go to an event in Jeddah and you see everyone wearing the same classic Chanel bags and my designs are just a fun tweak on the classic bag; making it a bit more playful.”

Ocho Design is Kuwait's first handmade chain/accessories brand for sunglasses. They provide authentic and handmade chains for your sunglasses as a fashion accessory! I was intrigued to find out more about Ocho and how it started "Like many fashionistas out there in the world, my friend Yussra and I love keeping up with the hottest style-trends and fads of the year. We never studied design, but I have always loved to paint and draw while Yussra has more sketches of her future wedding dress than Vera Wang! We began working on Ocho last month." expressed co-designer Fatema Al Bader.

The designers wanted to introduce something a little different to Kuwait. Nearly all the vintage fashion trends from the 60’s and 70’s come back to life one way or another; decadent prints, cat eye sunglasses, bright colors, flared pants, bright red lipstick; the list goes on and on. Inspired by the history of fashion, the Ocho girls decided to take a shot at reintroducing something they thought would be really interesting. "We all tend to associate eyeglass chains with our grandmothers and school librarians back in the school days, but why not change that and make give those boring eyeglass chains a new look? We thought it would be really cool if we played around with the whole idea, making eyeglass chains the new statement accessory everyone loves to have." said Al Bader.

When asked about their plans, the designer told me that they aim to participate in local exhibitions which they will announce on their instagram really soon!
