The Lebanese designer Zuhair Murad, who is part of a new wave of business-minded couture designers, produced a typically glam collection with sparking beadwork at Paris Haute Couture Week.
This season, elements of deco-futurism infused the cinched-waisted silhouettes (reminiscent of fellow Lebanese designer Elie Saab) in crepe, satin and Mikado.
Rippled geometric lines appeared in strapless hourglass ball-gowns in gazar.
Some of the futurist details, like “white moon” embroidery, came in streaks of fabric that at times lacked subtlety.
But subtlety is not what the red carpet is all about; Murad is known for having dressed Jennifer Lopez.
