Armed with fresher ideas, he went back to Dubai after a year to open his own couture house, which soon specialized in wedding gowns and evening dresses.

Top 3 clutches of the week ep. 17
1. Alexander McQueen’s iconic ‘Skull’ box clutch is re-imagined every season, and this spiderweb-effect leather version is a darkly romantic update. Carry this artful piece against a color-pop dress to showcase the intricate detailing.
2. Modern uptown girls will fall head over heels for Valentino’s blush leather shoulder bag. Combining one of spring’s hottest shades with fierce gold studs, this compact accessory is a chic new-season investment.
3. Hot off the label’s hit SS12 runway, Christopher Kane’s elaborately embellished clutch is a fabulous way to work the season’s dazzling decoration. Encrusted with glimmering rose and lemon crystals and with silver floral embroidery, it pays homage to the label’s attention to craftsmanship
