Gorgeous S/S 2024 RTW collection from fashion designer Zuhair Murad, Part 1

Would like to share with you today the gorgeous S/S 2024 RTW collection from fashion designer Zuhair Murad. His designs are so feminine, sensual with a touch of glamour. It's always a joy to see more of his new collections. I will post the coming period several blogs from this collection. This is a serie in Black & White. At the end of this blog I also added the You Tube movie where all the gowns are showed. Be Inspired ....... Earlier I wrote more blogs about this fantastic designer, SEE HERE 








More about the designer
Zuhair Murad  is a Beirut-based Lebanese fashion designer. He is considered to be one of the most talented designers of the 21st century. Zuhair Murad was born and raised in Baalbek, Lebanon in 1971. His passion for fashion was visible from an early age. When he was 14, Zuhair won a TV contest with three outfits which defined his personal and particular style. That childhood passion led him to study at a design school in Paris and in 1997 he opened his very first atelier in Beirut. In 1999, Murad celebrated his international debut at the Alta Roma Fashion Week, following an invitation from the Camera Nazionale della Moda and three years later he presented his couture collection for the 1st time during Haute Couture Week in Paris.

Chosen by L’agenzia per la Moda to appear at the official opening of the 2001 festival in Rome, Murad quickly became known as one of the best designers in Italy. This was the beginning of a new era for him. In 2005, he debuted the first Zuhair Murad RTW collection, a more simple – yet still aesthetically glamorous – contemporary line designed to meet the expanding needs of his clients. Two years later inaugurates his Parisian “Maison de Couture” in the heart of the Triangle d’Or on “François 1er” Street.

The international media has declared him as ‘the star rocketing designer’ and ‘one of the most promising young designers for the new era’ due to his unique style and creativity which ensure his ongoing successful career.

Since 2009 an enormous amount of celebrities likes to shine at important events with his unique pieces. His ability to turn every woman who wears his amazing pieces into a goddess make some believe that he stole Cinderella’s fairy grandmother’s stick and everything he designed was created with pure magic. His unique creations that define oriental essence and beauty have made their way towards all the major podiums, boutiques and personalities.

What initially began as a young boy’s hobby with little sketches and pictures painted on paper and canvas has now grown into a fashion empire with strong regional recognition and a growing global reputation.

‘I started from scratch and worked my way up’, says Murad who’s adventurous and aspiring nature have lead him to where he is today. Zuhair Murad is the perfect example of how ambition, perseverance and creativity can lead to an eclectic runway of life.

‘It’s about sensuality and femininity, along with a touch of glamour.’

NYFW: Delightful collection from Dennis Basso Fall/Winter 2022

 
Be Inspired by this delightful collection from fashion designer Dennis Basso for his season Fall/Winter 2022, seen at New York Fashion Week.

"The inspiration for this collection is 'New York moments.' Whether Downtown or Uptown, the New York woman is smart, savvy, strong and clearly has her own personal style. I designed this collection with these ladies in mind. "I believe women from around the world have a desire to have a touch of New York style. The designs include embroidery, guipure lace, satin face organza, silk velvet, paillettes and feathers. Furs include sable, chinchilla, mink, lynx and broadtail, all done with a touch of whimsey. "The shapes reflect a Downtown sensibility married with an Uptown flair. The jumpsuits, one-shoulder gowns, knee-length cocktail dresses and trousers create the look for the 2022 Season. "Remember, in keeping true to New York style, I believe that clothes should make you look good but, most importantly, feel good!" - Dennis Basso
