My Final Year : Graduation Collection 2013

Wednesday, 29 August 2012
Sorry i haven't posted anything interesting lately. I've been really busy with doing an internship with nawá ( a brand designed by Nadine Mezher,  a former Esmod teacher.
But as a special treat I going to let you in on what theme and ideas I have for my final year collection.The theme is ...... British Festivals !!  So think of Glastonbury,V-Festival,Creamfields,Wireless Festival and T4 on the Beach...etc So while I was in london , after going to Wireless Festival with my cousin, I got so much inspiration.From the music ( artists who I managed to see) to the clothes ( the crazy feathers , headbands..etc) and general atmosphere of the crowd. I spent my time after the festival going fabric shopping in Jasons and Joel and Son and heading back to Plymouth and making a stop in Exeter to go have a look at more fabrics. By doing that, all of these ideas starting coming up in my head and I spent my time in Saudi sketching out ideas.Here are a few snapshots I took on my road to inspiration :

My Saudi Trip

Monday, 20 August 2012
As promised , this is my blog entry for my Saudi trip :)

After heading back to Dubai at the beginning of august , my parents and I decided to jet off to Saudi Arabia like my dad does every year.

The last time I went was the year before last (just before I started Esmod )
And this year was a lot crazier because our flight got delayed and we ended up arriving in Mecca at like 4am just before sunrise.

(due to technical issues with my blackberry, I was only able to take one picture, however I took a few pictures in Madinah

Here are some shots of the mosque in Madinah













Things To Take Inside the Mosque

  • Dates
  • Lip balm and hand cream
  • Money
  • Wipes and tissues
  • Sunglasses
  • Sibha ( prayer beads)
  • Mini Qur'an
  • Plastic Bag to put your shoes in

Saudi Updates..

Thursday, 16 August 2012
Sorry I haven't been able to blog lately , I have a virus and I'm currently in Madinah ( in Saudi Arabia) (the mosque of Prophet Mohammed PBUH.
So for the last week I've been praying all 5 prayers, ( Fajr,Duhr,Asr,Mugrib and Isha) in the mosque and most importantly reading the qur'an. Also i've taken a lot of pictures at the hotel with my cousins since you are not allowed to bring phones or cameras inside the mosque.


Here are some pictures I took from last times trip:

 
In Mecca
 

 The Kaaba
