ZUHAIR MURAD COUTURE SPRING 2016

He designed Sofia Vergara’s amazing wedding dress and Jennifer Lopez’ glamorous tour outfits: Zuhair Murad knows how to dress beautiful women with elegance, glamour and sexiness.

For Spring and Summer 2016, Lebanese haute couture designer Zuhair Murad confines the stately silhouettes of his muses in gilded, sun-kissed cages, radiant filters whose prism femininity is freed of all trace of sentimentality, more fulfilled than ever and in perfect form to wield its power of seduction.

Panniers galore in jaunty horsehair will walk in a flowering of artfully rounded volumes suggestive of virtuoso birdcages: structured curves of crinolines, basques, and whalebone forming ethereal cage bars and dazzling, delicately-flowing openwork. Untrammelled refinement comes in a series of sexy, bouffant mini-dresses, chic tulip skirts, and architectural, show-stopping eveningwear with glamorous red-carpet trains

Charming arbours and bowers of bliss form a blaze of ornament, embroidery spreading its ravishing tendrils over an ecstasy of decorative metal – all loosely enfolding a silhouette upstandingly wreathed in gracious shades of rosewood and raw silk, lavender and celadon, glittering ash, crystal white, or vibrant vermillion.
