Ziad Nakad's MuZeum
Since his beginnings, the Lebanese designer Ziad Nakad has always wanted to sublimate women, by weaving a precious and timeless creation around the female body.
The choice of models, like muses, was decisive: France, Australia, Georgia, United States, Germany, Netherlands, and Korea. The designer wanted a panel of women from around the world to emphasize the fact that beauty is universal.
The opening dress of the collection is a symbol of light, which is born from darkness. It serves as an invitation to make a wish.
Throughout the collection, we find the signature of Ziad Nakad, which can be seen in the oversized shoulders, marked waists underlined by jeweled belts and embroidery. The signature dresses are created like mosaics, sewn square by square in the atelier in Beirut.
A work of 6 months and an incalculable number of hours per dress is required in order to create such perfect architecture which molds the body of the woman.
The most delicate materials, such as tulle, taffeta, and lace highlight the structures of the dress, while simultaneously creating a slender silhouette.
A line of accessories, Swarovski belts, and oversized earrings complete the silhouette.
