PLT Event: Judith Leiber X Razan Al Azzouni

Another PLT, and another evening full of style and pretty little things. PLT’s Judith Leiber X Razan Al Azzouni was hosted at Gallery 220 two days ago and was a true fashion night out! Not only it marked the beginning of a charitable affiliation, it also marked the debut of Judith Leiber’s Fall 2012 collection in the Middle East. Renowned American handbag designer Judith Leiber has teamed up with Saudi Arabian label Threads by Razan Alazzouni to produce an exclusive collection of clothing and bags to benefit children’s charities in the region.

Judith Leiber has, for decades, ruled the world of high fashion handbags, with each bag regarded as a unique work of art. Her pieces are beautiful and dazzling. Pure joy to hold!

Something special from Judith Leiber was the concept for the Children’s Art Bag; a unique personalized bag with a replica of a child’s art work in Austrian Crystals. This concept follows in the Judith Leiber tradition of art and design at its best, keeping alive the sentiments and talents of the children, by creating a priceless family heirloom.

Moving on to Razan Alazzouni’s yet another great collection, beautiful fabrics, feminine sparkle, and flattering designs, what more would a girl ask for!

The cute set up was a collaborative effort with The House of Etiquette

No Way Through..

I stumbled upon this video on youtube and found it interesting to share. Uploaded by a group called ‘Gaza Youth’, it gave me a closer feel of what the Palestinian occupation really is, and how it affects the lives of many, every day..

Since I was born, I’ve heard about the Israeli occupation of Palestine so many times that it became just a story to me, and many people like me. This video revived the feeling of injustice towards those occupied. I’m not sure about the production itself and why is it giving London as an example..But I believe anyone seeing this would relate it to common sense, and the pure breach of humanity that is conducted every single day in the lives of those behind the checkpoints. A simple injury or an accident that is not life threatening would end someone’s life only because they are denied access to hospital or medical care center in their own country, on their own land. A crime against humanity that we should never stop fighting for it to end.
