Bobette Cohn & Fruzsina Keehn at a private viewing in Dubai!

A lovely afternoon held by Serra Kirdar-Meliti and Rania El Sadek where they put together a great sale trunk and private viewing of two fabulous designers Bobette Cohn and Fruzina Keehn from New York, at Serra villa, Dubai.

Fashion designer Bobette Cohn
Bobette Cohn a fashion designer from New York City showcased her amazing collection that was vintage pieces she collected through her findings, where then she reworked and modernized those pieces and make them look just amazing. I also believe that vintage recreations are most wanted than wearing a really old dress. I was so in love with the collection and specifically all the details and embroidery it had.

Jewelry designer Fruzsina Keehn
Timeless Exquisite Jewelry by Fruzina Kheen really took my breath away. Kheen is a New York born designer that belt her concept on modernized/ vintage jewelry pieces. I must own a piece! TDF!

The Ring


Today, I was with my mom looking through her vintage jewelry and I fell in love with this ring. The one with a brown nail. I was surprised that I found such ring in her collection. She told me when this design was sold in jewelry boutiques, people saw it as creative item not fashionable and classy to be worn. But now, such jewelry are so in trend and rare to be found!! (if you remember Rihannas or Beyonce ring was similar to this)

Vintage Vibe

"What I really love about them... is the fact that they contain someone's personal history...I find myself wondering about their lives.

1980's pink plated trouser featuring exposed black zip closures at front

I can never look at a garment... without thinking about the woman who owned it. 

1980s raspberry leather moto jacket featuring structured shoulders and a rounded collar

How old was she? Did she work? Was she married? Was she happy?... 

pastel floral shirtdress featuring bold shoulders and pink button closures at front

I look at these exquisite shoes, 

 1980s vented baby blue leather boots featuring a metallic-sheen finish

and I imagine the woman who owned them rising out of them or kissing someone...

glistening gold lame blazer! Pockets at front and button closure at front

I look at a little hat like this,

1980s Bisang Couture black satin dress featuring structured shoulders and peplum skirt

I lift up the veil, and I try to imagine the face beneath it... 

jumpsuit featuring split sleeves and an ultra-drapey pant with tapered leg
 

When you buy a piece of vintage clothing you're not just buying the fabric and thread 

 1980s semi-sheer black pants featuring a metallic silver dot print!

- you're buying a piece of someone's past."
