Paris, France – Zuhair Murad is at the height of his creative powers. Nothing could be truer evidence than his display of opulence and technique last evening in Paris. And his new collection is truly one of the best highlights of the Spring/Summer 2017 haute couture season.
Zuhair Murad ‘s adventure into the season started with a recent trip to the Japan’s Miyajima island. There he was in awe as he fell under the spell of the fireworks displays that he saw going during his trip. Upon seeing the patterns that formed from the exploding fireworks in the night sky, he found his spirit moved. And there the inspiration for his new collection was born.
Now we speed forward a few months in time to last night. The couturier took us all to the sumptuous Hotel Potocki to unveil his splendid new body of work.
Zuhair Murad has transposed his memories of Miyajima into beautiful silhouettes dominated by a variety of shapes. Sheath gowns, halter top dresses, dazzling pants ensembles and exciting cocktail & party dresses. The parade of excitement begins with looks done in black. From there the collection evolves to immediately include fabric backdrops of red, hot pink, fuchsia, before moving on to the next movements that include blues, jade and pearl, whites, etc. Each look is treated to Swarovski crystals embroideries that have been used to vividly replicate the spectacular Japanese fireworks displays seen by the very eyes of Zuhair Murad.
The aesthetic is all obvious. The opulence is relentless !
