Zuhair Murad Haute Couture Spring Summer 2024— « A Tyrian Arabesque »—pays homage to the love the Phoenician civilization had for the sea. Murad expresses timeless Mediterranean charm by matching tradition with modernity while celebrating this rich heritage of adventure and beauty from the region.
The collection emanates a powerful sensuality, drawing influence from strong female figures
such as Astarte and Europe, who represent the brilliance of Phoenician mythology. Drapery,
Greco-Roman pendants, arabesques, and cascading chains decorate rich materials like silk,
crepe, chiffon, and satin, evoking water flow and treasures from sea expeditions.
Fluid cuts and delicate tunics reflect the delight of waves and the freedom of bodies, while
metallic inlays capture the radiance of the sun on the ocean. The color palette, influenced by
Mediterranean hues, includes faded reds, deep greens, and gleaming metallic tones that depict
the wealth of Phoenician culture and workmanship.
The collection drew attention from famous fashion icons such as British actress and model Amy
Jackson, French catwalk sensation Flora Coquerel, Italian actress Carla Bruni, and Emirati
vocalist Ahlam Al-Shamsi, among others. Zuhair Murad’s Haute Couture Spring summer collection
combines Greco-Roman elements with contemporary flair.
