The Zuhair Murad woman comes alive at night. She’s a social butterfly, navigating a packed calendar of events, always ready to make an entrance. For his Resort collection, Murad delivers a dazzling spectacle, channeling the essence of this nocturnal glamour.
Shine takes center stage. His iconic monogram bursts into a starburst pattern, shimmering silver tweed is adorned with jewel-like monogram buttons, and a high-impact yet surprisingly lightweight gown is draped in silver sequins.
Drawing inspiration from his love of history and travel, Murad infuses a touch of Mediterranean antiquity into the collection. It’s as if he unearthed ancient ceramics or frescoes from Pompeii, transforming them into exquisite evening gowns.
While prints are not typically Murad’s forte, he masterfully utilizes them to evoke the patina of time. Gold leaf on jacquard, embroidery on a long-sleeved mini-dress, and a sleeveless white gown with a draped, twisted halter top all showcase this unique approach.
But the collection is not solely defined by embellishment. Murad presents a number of looks that shine with understated elegance. Draped black gowns, a burned coral number with a jeweled shoulder and plunging back, and even some of the jersey lamé goddess dresses exude a timeless quality.
This ability to create pieces that transcend fleeting trends is a testament to Murad’s enduring talent. His Resort collection offers a symphony of shine and antiquity, a perfect reflection of the modern Zuhair Murad woman who embraces both the allure of the past and the radiance of the present.
