The Zuhair Murad woman, forever drawn to new frontiers, traverses the continents and crosses the seas this 22 Prefall season to find her sanctuary in the Colorado desert. Simultaneously intense and mystifying, this enigmatic ambiance stirs in her an intense desire to explore the Wild West. Among her accompaniments, vestiges of a daring Victorian era, which nevertheless predicates itself with tremulous elegance.
The ruggedness of the environment elicits in her a longing for skirts and wide trousers in black or purple cady. Form-fitting jackets also make an appearance, taking their cue from elemental leather trim inspired by the attire of cowboys of the Grand Canyon. The dresses in caramel or jet and, complemented by Western hats, cavort between amorous delight and graphic charm, indulging numerous lengths. They are adorned with caped or puffed sleeves for an avant-garde nod, while on hot evenings the shoulders often remain bare.
The inconstancy lies in the blend of firm denim and malleable leather. The two frolic with one another with buoyant allure through a rugged fusion that denotes the vests of the Arizona riders for a seductive nuance of white on midnight blue. The brightly printed twill envelopes the body with enthralling delicacy and unfolds in loose sets, effecting graceful femininity with gathered and belted waists.
The jersey, at times capucine and other emeralds, is fashioned in a crossover pattern and is combined with cavalier poise enhanced with jewels for a precious finish.
A breathtaking contrast emerges between innocence and sophistication where the crepe merges with cow cutouts reworked with lace. Though the approach is cursory, the silhouette is intriguing. The collection manifests through ardor and adroitness within this wild, invigorating atmosphere, yet with the most subtle hints of modernity.
