Elegance and refinement. These are the words that can comment the beautiful
collection of Zuharir Murad at Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week Spring/Summer
2016. Long dresses, necklines, transparencies and laces draw a red carpet
season. Right, because there won’t be a movie star diva who won’t want to wear
one of these amazing creations. The pantone shades triumph from rose quartz to
that tenuous light blue rebaptised as “Serenity”. Obviously the style is way
different from that of Maison Margiela or Viktor & Rolf, here things
change, and even if they’re not everyday clothes, wearability is a key point.
The goal is to make women feel gorgeous.
Yellow, light blue, pink, strawberry pink, beiges and white: anything spins
around the femininity of the pastel nuances, the couture collection that will
wear the next red carpets around the globe. The necklines and the rips
dizzying, characterized by audacious transparencies, light and fluctuating
fabrics like tulle and silk. Silhouettes enhance the important shoulders,
enriched with ruches and frills, while the waistline gets enhanced perfectly by
jewel-belts. The long dresses are completely covered in sequin and pearl and
crystals fringes, with delicate ton-sur-ton pastel flowers that embroider the
most romantic and princely. As well as the ivory wedding dress that closed the
show: the sensual bustier opens up the way to a “a-thousand-and-one-night”
skirt and train.
The white of the laces, the pink flowers and the leafs
that get alive on the magnificent creations, give the entire collection the
image of the Zuhair Murad woman: a fairy princess of timeless beauty. In fact,
for his SS16 Couture collection Murad gets inspired by the Elizabethan Age,
with its majestic clothes sewed and built over complex panier and bustier. As
if to enveloped and surrounded by a golden cage, Murad’s creatures proceed
solemnly enhancing the silhouettes, which emphasize the feminine curves and a
special love for precious embroideries. From the more delicate tints to more
intense ones, emerges a strong attention for the decoration as ostentation of
luxury and exclusivity, and a revival of styles of the past, which belong to
the common imaginary of a femininity refined and protective at the same time,
set free though, in this case, by any scruple and constriction.
Mini, midi and maxi are the lengths of the clothes, in shades of white,
mauve, silver, powder-sky-blue, pearl, lemon and coral red. While the fabrics
adopted in these collection vary from laces to organza, satin, silk, sequin,
pearls, tulle, voile, embroideries, Mikado, chiffon and lurex, and are cut in
order to obtain shapes like panier, corolla, bell-shaped curved, fluid and
tapered. Accessories are: metallic crowns, silver sandals with laces woven
around the ankles.
Notorious between the world of the celebrities for having dressed women
from Kristen Stewart to Jennifer Lopez after realizing Sofia Vergara’s dressing
gown, Lebanese designer Zuhair Murad has seen incrementing the number of
requisitions to create similar wedding dresses. His SS16 Couture collection
presented in Paris isn’t pointed towards celebrities only, but looks for a
wider range of spectators. Short white dresses, white tulle elegant skirt
underneath the knees, white lace pants with white tunic, this is how the show
starts, to bounce towards dresses with floral prints, wide gowns, short on the
front and long at the backside dresses, an amazing pink dress with
accessory-rip with silver belt at sight, and silver high-heeled sandals. Siren
silhouette in their pastel tones, with embroideries and trains, satin light
blue dresses, short embellished cocktail dresses, to head to evening dresses right
after, with bright colours and orange shades, and ending up with white dresses,
from the malicious evening gown to the tulle dress, to the princely wedding
dress of the apparent classic style, as seen with the richly embroidered wide
skirt and veil.
«For this summer, Zuhair Murad
will be confining the stately silhouettes of his muses in gilded, sunkissed
cages, radiant filters though 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 minidresses, überchic tulip skirts, and architectural, showstopping
eveningwear with glamorous redcarpet 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. A revelry of
plunging backs and necklines in spellbound asymmetry, amplified by abundance of
flaring and divine transparency exposes the beguiling enchantment of
liberation, where fabric or its absence (a profusion of tulle, organza, silk
gazar, crêpe de soie, lace, brocade, guipure, silk chiffon, and more) frames
gossamer sensuality. And so to the grand finale, in the guise of an apotheosis:
behold the bridal gown, a sumptuous vision the ecstatic focus of every gaze in
a luxuriant alliance of queenly carriage and regal train.».
