The collection is inspired by the revered Couture designer’s signature style.
Dubai, UAE (November 4, 2026) — Apparel Group brand ALDO, the global leader in fashion shoes, bags and accessories, has partnered with international designer Zuhair Murad. The exclusive ZUHAIR MURAD x ALDO capsule brings together sculptural cuts, refined materials, and thoughtful detailing in pieces designed to move effortlessly through life’s special occasions. The collection will launch on November 4th , 2026.
From Couture and Bridal to Ready-to-Wear, Zuhair Murad’s creations are defined by an unmistakable aesthetic that blends timelessness with contemporary glamour. Romantic yet modern, Murad’s designs celebrate confidence, beauty, and the transformative power of dressing. Each collection weaves together intricate craftsmanship, refined embellishment, and sculptural, feminine silhouettes. A regular presence on the world’s most prestigious red carpets, his looks have been worn by some of the most celebrated women of our time, including Jennifer Lopez, Taylor Swift, and Zendaya.
The ZUHAIR MURAD x ALDO collaboration reinterprets couture throughout a capsule collection designed for memorable moments and celebrations. Two signature footwear silhouettes take center stage: a platform sandal with an open toe, slim ankle strap, and sculptural block heel, and a pointed-toe slingback pump featuring a slender heel and refined strap detail. Glitter finishes, metallic gold tones, and snakeskin-inspired textures deliver a distinct couture aesthetic. The evening bags feature singular designs adorned by bold hardware made to elevate any look. Jewelry and eyewear complete the styling blending pearl details, polished metals, and star-inspired motifs for a collection that looks both timeless and modern.
“The ZUHAIR MURAD x ALDO partnership is the first of its kind for the ALDO brand and the privilege of collaborating with the House and Mr. Murad is a defining moment for ALDO,” said Amanda Amar, VP Brand Strategy, PR & Social. “Zuhair Murad’s impact not just in couture but in the luxury fashion ecosystem as a whole, allowed us to create a collection that honors the signature, visual expressions of the House while staying true to the essence of ALDO.”
“In designing this collection, it was important for me to create pieces that remain true to the DNA of the House,” said Zuhair Murad. “I wanted to mix the spirit of couture with versatility, and wearability. Partnering with ALDO, a brand with a global footprint, presented an opportunity to bring the refinement of our House to a wider audience. Every design was created to inspire sophistication, allowing more people to experience the craftsmanship, glamour, and artistry that define ZUHAIR MURAD.”
