Zuhair Murad Haute Couture F/W 2014-2015 Collection
Beirut’s new architectural skyline comprising buildings designed by acclaimed architects such as Herzog & de Meuron, Norman Foster, Steven Holl and Zaha Hadid are the inspiration behind this new collection by the Lebanese designer. Precious and luxurious, gowns displays elegant, classic and sophisticated designs in which beaded and sequined embellishment in the shape of geometric shapes, waves and organic patterns take centre stage.
