BABEL KUWAIT LAUNCHES BREAKFAST MENU FOR THE FIRST TIME IN BABEL HISTORY For the first time ever in its history, award-winning Lebanese food brand Babel announces the launch of its first and one-of-a-kind Lebanese breakfast menu, available exclusively for Kuwait’s guests. Since its launch in 2016, Babel Kuwait has paid close attention to the whims and sentiments of their customer base that is known to have a sophisticated palate and an appetite for novelty. This trait inspired the team at Babel Kuwait to introduce innovative concepts such as the breakfast menu that allows Babel’s guests to embark on a journey reminiscent of the authentic flavours of a Lebanese breakfast, sprinkled with a dash of creativity. The new breakfast menu offers a selection of cold and hot appetizers, manakish, eggs served with a touch of Babel, and numerous dessert options for unforgettable morning gatherings. Breakfast at Babel will be served daily between 9 a.m. and 12 p.m. Babel is located at Marina World, on the scenic Gulf Road.

COS SPRING SUMMER 2018 The COS Spring Summer 2018 collection explores organic shapes and natural materials while taking inspiration from the past, present and imagined future. The result is a series of understated modern classics, composed in interchangeable modular ways. The qualities of paper are integral to the collection and are evident from design conception and throughout the work process; from the pattern cutting, to the paper draping and 3D work. This informs new proportions and details which are executed in a clean and precise way. The influences of time are apparent in the artisanal work methods and reinvented modern pieces which have a futuristic tone and quiet drama. Three-piece tailoring is reimagined to incorporate new fabrics, draped and voluminous pieces alter silhouettes and collapse on the body. Classics have been revisited in surprising materials and details are sometimes carefully misplaced. Designs are brought to life by cottons in a range of forms - textured, coated, crisp, crumpled; whilst knits of various weights are crafted from barely-there silks, chunky paper yarns and starched summer wools. Technical innovations like coated Tyvek are interspersed throughout to reimagine timeless pieces. COS is located at Marina Mall and The Avenues.
