Pink Fudge : A fashionista’s new best friend

THE MIDDLE EAST’S BEST-KEPT FASHION SECRET

‘A fashionista’s new best friend’

Operated by appointment only, Pink Fudge is the online shopping destination for fashion lovers who have always dreamt of owning a timeless piece without the waiting list. A unique concept, Pink Fudge offer timeless pieces and vintage accessories so high in demand that they can’t be found on shelves anywhere. Pieces available from Pink Fudge include the iconic Hermes Birkin bag, Vintage Chanel accessories and the season’s latest ‘it’ bags making it a fashion lovers best kept secret.

The girls behind the brand are modern day fairy Godmothers to the Middle East’s fashionistas - selling only authentic pieces, the owners of Pink Fudge use their long established secret network of contacts in the fashion world to source bags that for many are impossible to track down. Having visited trade shows in the Fashion capitals of the World, they also have a strong understanding of the craftsmanship of the products and with these well-trained eyes can spot not only authentic pieces but the next fashion ‘must have’.

It all began when two little girls with a passionate love for fashion met and became the best of friends. From a young age they would play dress up and carry their mothers’ vintage bags and purses, which deepened their love of handbags and accessories. Over the years the girls started investing in items for their personal collection and began filling their closets with beautiful pieces. After travelling the World and having countless magical shopping experiences, they decided to use their well trained eyes and offer their experience to make other fashion addicts as happy as them. And this is the story of how “Pink Fudge” was born.

A special event over cupcakes happened last Wednesday, the 14^th of November, 2012 at Okku in H Hotel hosted by Pink Fudge. A few selected bloggers were invited and were given a few hints on the best kept trade secrets of Pink Fudge.

Fashion Reunion with RK Designs

We met the woman behind RK Designs back in 2010 during the Bahrain Fashion Week. We remember seeing her walk in to the venue where we did the press conference in a caped abaya with a turban on. She demanded attention in a very regal way. From that day, we never forgot about Reem Al Kanhal.

So can you imagine the excitement in our faces when we got the invitation a few weeks back announcing her exhibition in Ara Gallery? We were like kids in a candy store.

 And so we marked our calendars and didnt miss going to her exhibition called FLY AWAY. 

You can see humming birds and crows on her clothes, capes and winged shoulders, acrylic feather and metallic belts on her latest collection. We love the theme and we always love any fierce woman who dares to break boundaries. Did we mention she is Saudi?

PRESS RELEASE : ART AND DANCE PERFORMANCE TO CELEBRATE MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA WITH H&M IN NEW YORK

Julianne Moore, Sarah Jessica Parker, Mena Suvari, Kanye West, Helena Christensen, Selma Blair, Alan Cumming and Chase Crawford were among the guests at a party last night in New York to celebrate H&M’s collaboration with Maison Martin Margiela. The unique event was held across many floors of 5 Beekman Street, a historical building in the city’s financial district. Guests were able to discover the collection in dance performances by noted choreographer Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker and through specially commissioned art installations, and DJ’s kept the party going into the early hours. The Maison Martin Margiela with H&M collection will be launched on November 15th in around 230 H&M stores worldwide.

“We are happy to present the Maison Martin Margiela with H&M collection in New York with this event. Maison Martin Margiela believes in showing its work outside of the traditional context. This mix of installation and performance captures the spirit of the house, and allowed the artists to interpret the collaboration collection in ways they saw fit.” Maison Martin Margiela.

“Tonight’s party has been such an exciting evening, and was full of surprises. In every room, on every floor, you never knew what you were going to find. The installations showed the Maison Martin Margiela collection with H&M in the most amazing and original way and we believe our customers will really appreciate this collection”, said Margareta van den Bosch, Creative Advisor at H&M.

The derelict and raw nine-story building, housed around a glass-roofed atrium, was the perfect setting for the celebration of Maison Martin Margiela with H&M, decorated in the label’s signature white-painted style. The famed choreographer Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker created a unique and beautiful performance in squares of sand, which ran throughout the evening on different floors. Anne Teresa and her dancers removed garments from the collection while performing, thus creating live and spontaneous art installations.

The collection with H&M, a series of re-editions of Maison Martin Margiela garments and accessories from various seasons, was further revealed in special art installations on various floors: artists Daniel Arsham, Frederique Chauveaux and Noemie Goudal, created sculptures, projections and photographs exclusively for the event

“I’m a huge fan of Margiela and I love H&M – it’s a great collaboration. I never get surprised by H&M’s choices, every designer they pick I’m interested in. I’m always standing in the queue with my mother in the early mornings. I’ve been a fan of Margiela since the start”, says Helena Christensen.

“It’s incredible, so exciting to celebrate one of my favourite designers. They are mysterious and compelling and I’ve been a great fan of Margiela for many years. H&M, well, look at the lines of men and women lined up! It’s a great opportunity for people to have access to great designers. It makes luxury available to everyone. It’s very democratic and I’m all for it”, says Sarah Jessica Parker.

“I’m here to see the lovely Margiela collection. I love the way H&M is doing collaborations with other designers. It’s a great thing, to make clothes stylish and affordable. The collaborations are a great idea, they are really amazing!” says Alan Cumming.

“It’s an amazing collaboration! Margiela is a beautiful brand – arty, iconoclastic and always edgy. And the quality is always amazing with H&M. Fashion is great because it’s an expression of who you are”, says Julianne Moore.

PAPERSELF EYELASHES

Introducing the quirkiest eyelashes ever made! 

Inspired by the art of Chinese paper-cutting, The PaperSelf Eyelashes blend an element of traditional culture with contemporary design. Intricately cut and delicately pretty, they are now available in 11 styles, each infused with symbolic meaning rooted in Chinese culture.

Horses: symbolic of success
Peony: for happiness and good fortune
Peach blossom: a symbol of love and romance

Peacock: auspicious and lucky days

Butterfly: free, beautiful and sensitive

Clown: bring the whole happiness

Unique and expressive, the eyelashes come in two sizes: accentuate the corners of your eyes with the smaller lashes for a subtle daytime look, or make a statement with the full lashes for a special occasion.

Tell us what you think quirky girlies! We think its fun and it definitely ignited a spark of inspiration for the coming Halloween! You can shop it here.

When it comes to choosing your costume this Halloween, try this one on for size: go as a do-gooder.

Next week is Halloween. It will be dark and scary. For the children of Haiti, every night is dark and scary as they huddle together in a make-shift tent. There will be no tricks or treats for them.

Halloween is all about costumes, candy and epic parties, but it’s also a time for goodwill, and the Zanmi tote easily doubles as a Trick-or-Treat Bag is an example of how you can help those in need when the time comes.

A Zanmi humanity tote can double as a Trick-or-Treat Bag to encourages festivity and goodwill.

There will be no tricks or treats for the children on Haiti this Halloween.

By purchasing one of our Humani-tees or totes, you can help us build our orphanage now and make life a little less scary for the children of Haiti.
