Therefore, here comes the theme of Executing Culture Shock for Nuqat Conference 2013.
The organizing committee also mentioned that during Nuqat conference 2013, speakers will present their own reaction to the aforesaid factors through socially conscious design, celebration of culture, social experience, dissection and intervention. They also stated that participants will then be engaged with those powerful reactions and new perspectives that may question the existing norms and invent new methods of adaptation, thus executing culture shock.
The conference speakers will display different executions, theories & ideas based on their field and the topic of Nuqat 2013 Conference. Each speaker will express a different experience and reaction in an attempt to understand and initiate progress and positive change.
The participants of the conference will also experience hands on interactive and interdisciplinary workshops conducted by professional creatives in several fields. The workshops aim to incite the participants’ reaction to the culture change in a positive innovative approach, resulting in a beneficial and effective outcome. The workshops have limited seats to ensure a productive environment and quality time with the instructors. To read more about the Nuqat Conference, you may read more here.

Noon by Noor is a fashion label by the talented Bahrainis Shaikha Noor Al Khalifa and Shaikha Haya Al Khalifa The name for the line, Noon By Noor, comes from the Arabic letter ‘N’, pronounced as ‘noon’. The label offers an array of feminine dresses, tailored blazers and statement separates that can be worn in casual sophistication by day, or in exquisite elegance by night. Noon by Noor has made a huge impact in the fashion world, with an online boutique, and the label stocks in Saks Fifth Avenue Bahrain, Saks Fifth Avenue Dubai, and Harvey Nichols Kuwait.
All eyes were on Noon by Noor’s Spring 2014 collection at Mercedez Benz Fashion Week. It was evident that the collection was inspired by the beauty of nature, which was seen through the prints, floral appliques and ornate embellishments. Each piece was feminine, yet still modern. We loved every piece and are proud of the Bahraini designers! We wish them the best of luck and we’re excited to see what the future holds for Noon by Noor!
Take a look at our favorite pieces from the Spring 2014 collection.
