Zuhair Murad Spring 2014 Ready-to-Wear
A
proven favorite of Hollywood stylists and A-list starlets, Zuhair
Murad's over-the-top eveningwear demands attention on red carpets.
Paparazzi
flashbulbs gravitate to his signature flashy beading, see-through lace
insets, and body-con silhouettes like bees to honey. The Lebanese
designer's new Spring collection was inspired by Victor Vasarely, who is
largely considered to be the father of Op art. "Vasarely was the master
at engaging textural effects, perspective, shadow, and light to create
dimension within simple planes," Murad said. Keeping Vasarely in mind,
he created eye-popping motifs with clustered jet-black crystals on
curve-hugging gowns, and incorporated scrolling, baroque-shaped cutouts
and graphic mosaic-patterned lace on cap-sleeve sheaths and jumpsuits.
In recent seasons, Murad has successfully expanded his range to include
cocktail attire and separates; among these comparatively casual looks, a
pair of wide-leg crepe trousers and a snug, tailored jacket with
delicate Chantilly accents were the highlights. A knee-length
black-and-white number with sheer panels at the sides stood out, too,
mostly due to its simplicity.
