More about Vautrait

Vautrait is a brand that offers an ageless style that is cosmopolitan. Mature, refined with presence of mind which portray subtle composure, spiced with an audacious elegance. An international conceptual label, Vautrait was founded by Yonathan Carmel, a 23 year old young Israeli passionated about architecture and tayloring. During his study Yonathan specialized in men's tailoring and the construction of a bespoke garment. In 2020 Yonathan decided to start his own label, bringing together traditional craft and technique with a contemporary angle. The garments are crafted from quality materials and designed for everyday wear, as an cultural interpretation for the "contemporary" and the communicative.

Architecture: The Naturalis Biodiversity Center in Leiden, the Netherlands

Would like to share with you today this fantastic building called 'The Naturalis Biodiversity Center' located in Leiden, the Netherlands. It features an interior where geometric patterns take center stage. The building was designed by Neutelings Riedijk Architects. 

The Naturalis Biodiversity Center reinvents the museum-experience at scale. 38,000 m² of renovated and new-build spaces where layered stone façades, interlocking concrete molecules and a soaring ‘glass crown’ atrium bring biodiversity into dialogue with light, materiality and space. Every curve, hexagon, oval and triangle is intentional. It isn’t just about showcasing nature’s wonders (42 million specimens!) but about feeling embedded in them. Be Inspired ........

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.’
