Zuhair Murad RTW Spring 2023
Zuhair Murad yearns to escape. The Lebanese designer has long looked to people or architecture to anchor his collections, but this season he turned to nature - and man's impact on it - for his inspiration.
He traveled to the Vinicunca region of Peru and was also inspired by the colors of its rainbow-colored mountains like the aerial shots of German photographer Tom Hegen, who focus on the impact of human transformation on landscapes. There is beauty in destruction in many of Hegen's works, which Murad has translated here into soft blues and dusty pinks, and unexpected tones of sand and ocher on pleated organza dresses. These colors were dreamy on the prints, but the black lace panels and added embellishments disturbed the serenity.
Murad does his best to get married; also witness her coup by dressing Jennifer Lopez for her first wedding to Ben Affleck as his movie 'Marry Me' - and her construction on prom dresses remains unparalleled. It didn't disappoint with structured asymmetrical dresses, as well as more form-fitting sequined party dresses. Ornate floral appliques adorned flared skirts, paired with crop tops in line with this season's trend of baring the midriff.
Murad knows his client loves steering wheels and ruffles, and here he provided them in spades , even if they sometimes mastered his craft.
