noreply@blogger.com (Shourouk) — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 17:29:00 +0000

I'm back from Milan.

The Vogue Talents Corner organized by Franca Sozzani from Vogue Italy and The Corner, just ended.

The event took place at The Palazzo Morando the 23rd of February 2012.

Just a small post for a debrief, in one word it was AMAZING !

Check out the video on Vogue.it.

You can also watch the pictures of the event in Vogue.com.

With a great organization, The Vogue Talents Corner provided to the eleven designers little corners with our own universe.

During this event, the international press was following us.

It was a great opportunity, I met legends of fashion like Mr Domenico Dolce & Mr Stefano Gabbana and Donatella Versace.
I also had the great pleasure to meet Mr Jonathan Newhouse.

Exchanging few words with Mr Jonathan Newhouse, chairman of Condé Nast International.

Anna Dello Russo selected some of my pieces for the Paris Fashion Week !
But hush hush I can not tell which pieces.

Some blogs relayed the information like Purple Diary.

And Style Bubble.

This week is Paris Fashion Week and I hope you enjoyed the pictures of my new collection !

First of All

HAPPY FUNKY YEAR to you guys!

Sorry again for being away from the blog for so long.

As usual we've been quite busy recently, we are just putting the final touch to our last collection.

Get ready, because we prepared you an "anti-crisis" collection. In fact, the more I get depressed about the economical crisis the more crystals I am gonna put on my designs!

So this time, the collection is a mix between the splendor of an european court and the lightness of contemporary design, but hush! hush! we can't say no more...

Let's start the year with some news and links to share with you!

We are currently working on a collaboration with an Hong-Kong company, it has been a pleasure to work on special pieces and we can't wait to show them. So be patient, we'll tell you all about it sooner than you think.`

On VOGUE.COM, you'll discover how Chioma Nnadi has put an highlight on our Baraka bracelets in the VOGUE DAILY.

We also wanted to wish good luck to MSQRD magazine, that's been launched a week ago in the United Arab Emirates. Thumbs up for the editor in chief, Sofia Guellaty who did an amazing job on this new magazine, of whom I've always loved the taste and sense of style.

On this occasion, they've asked Abdulla Al Kaabi, a famous movie maker in the Middle East to film the world introductery video of Masquerade and as a great honor they've used a lot of our designs.

I particularly like how they styled the Gayatri headband on the heroine.

Pick up the latest edition of WAD magazine and check out Jessica Bobince and Christian Anwander serie called "VELVET ON TOP". As usual, WAD magazine knows how to be creative in a photo-shoot, this time it turns out to be completely crazy and surprising! We always like to see our designs twisted in a new vision.

MUMBAI SEEN BY SHOUROUK

noreply@blogger.com (Shourouk) — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 16:02:00 +0000

Hello guys !

Sorry it’s been a while but recently there was no time for blogging !

We just came back from Mumbai with a special treat for you. As you know each year I travel several time to India for production and inspirations.

So the mottos of this video are cows, food, embroidery, shopping, and parties !

Of course, I chose one of songs, « Jimmy Jimmy ». It comes from « Disco Dancer », which was the first Bollywood movie I saw when I was a child. Since then my passion of India has never been stop !

I love this version from M.I.A, kitschy and funky as I like.

I hope you’ll enjoy this video as much as we enjoyed this journey to Mumbai. Who knows, you might go to india directly after watching it !

La Fiancée Volage-The Unfaithful Fiancée

noreply@blogger.com (Shourouk) — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 16:50:00 +0000

The New Wave Collection has three new styles of rings: the Bernadette, Lucienne, and Louise. Ever since I got the samples, I have kept at least one of them on at all times; I love the allure of them and how edgy yet classy they look.

They work with any outfit, from a night out to everyday wear. I like them so much, I decided we had to have a photo shoot all about them!

My inspiration came from old-fashioned French engagement rings and the hand ornaments worn by Indian courtesans dancing the Khatak for the Mughal royal court.

Leila Paleirmo my PR agent. I love her glasses!

Italy=gaining weight...

Corso Como is a must-see stop in Milan. They are already sold out of our last collection and will soon be stocking our New Wave collection.

Sarah Maino from Vogue Italy organized the surprise shopping event that was held to benefit a charity dedicated to helping children in Asia who are born with cleft palette.

Carla Sozzani, owner of Corso Como

Brands like Lacoste, Prada, Missoni, Fendi and many others donated pieces for the event, which were then placed in surprise bags with different prices for guests to purchase, with all proceeds going to the charity.

We are back to work for our new collection and getting busy in the workshop pimping out our crystals with some flashy new colors! Since last season, we have been adding our own twist to our crystals by making our own colors for them, like the hot pink on our Pink Yildiz Cuff.

This season we plan to add more colors to the selection of the already bright and unique stones we have created.

So here is a sneak peek of what we have been up to in the workshop!

Try a Pan Pan Cul Cul at Pamela Popo!!

noreply@blogger.com (Shourouk) — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 15:14:00 +0000

It's Friday and finally time to get ready for weekend plans, so if you don't have anything planned yet, might I suggest a great little restaurant to stop by for lunch or dinner with some friends!

Once again Phi Diem, my friend with endless knowledge of hidden hot spots, brought me to a restaurant to check out in Paris...

Pamela Popo, named after Serge Gainsbourg's song of the same name, is a little restaurant in Le Marais near Pont Marie that has well priced food and a laid back, cozy setting that seems as if it was decorated in the 70's.

Took the Zahadee Pasha necklace out to lunch with me :)

The best part of every meal: dessert!

Pamela Popo also has a great selection of delicious cocktails...I recommend the one I had, the Pan Pan Cul Cul!

Phi Diem is over 8 months pregnant, expecting to deliver by the end of the month, and she is the most elegant pregnant woman I have ever seen. She still looks as stylish as ever, even wearing heels like those in the photo below!

A Glamorous Tunisian Hobby

noreply@blogger.com (Shourouk) — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 13:18:00 +0000

The last group of photos from Tunisia are taken in a salon that did the women's hair for the wedding. Hair salons in Tunisia are always full because it is almost a hobby for some women to get really dolled up for big events with overdramatic makeup and hair, as you can see in the magazines below (I obviously chose the craziest photos from the magazine I could find).

A Tunisian Wedding

noreply@blogger.com (Shourouk) — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 14:31:00 +0000

Tunisian weddings are a week-long event with several different ceremonies. The ceremony in these pictures is the Outia ceremony.

The bride is wearing traditional Tunisian clothing from Nabeul, it is completely embroidered with silver sequins.

The bride has leaves on her head that are there to protect her from the evil eye.

Walking Around Tunis for the Day

noreply@blogger.com (Shourouk) — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 15:14:00 +0000

These are the pictures I took while on a walk around Tunis with my sister, who you can see with me in the first photo.

This is a shop that sells traditional Tunisian costume type clothing and other antiques. You can see the silver sequins that are often used in embroidery on many of the pieces.

Having a Tunisian breakfast! A honey doughnut and a bowl of figs.

Some of the military; the elections are coming up soon and I wish the best of luck to Tunisia and hope the extremists do not win the election.

TUNISIA IS NOT (ONLY) CLUB MED!!

noreply@blogger.com (Shourouk) — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 17:35:00 +0000

This past weekend I went to Tunisia to see my family and had a great time and got some photos, but there is something I need to clarify...TUNISIA IS NOT CLUB MED!! (Okay so it kind of is...but there is more to it than that!!)

Let me explain, anytime you ask a Parisian their thoughts on Tunisia, they tell you it's a great vacation spot for laying on the beach and buying trinkets like plush camels and keychains. While there is a great deal of this crap in parts, there is another side to the country that is much more interesting than the super touristy areas.

This week I will show you the other side of Tunisia from an insider's perspective of three different things. A walk through Tunis, a traditional Tunisian wedding, and finally, a favorite past time of Tunisian women. For now, a quick introduction...

This is my great grandfather, whose great grandfather (my great great grandfather), came from Istanbul.

His job : Circumciser !!!

This photo is the door of his house, which is very old and traditional. I didn't get to go in because no one was there at the moment so it was locked, but it is very pretty inside as you can imagine by how lovely the door is.

This is my grandmother Habiba, who taught me embroidery.

This is my grandfather Habib.

You can see parts of my home in Tunisia in these photos, which feature my cousin showing off some of my pieces. Hopefully the photos can give you some insight into a small piece of my childhood.
