Zuhair Murad Spring-Summer 2009 Haute Couture Collection

Sunday, May 10th, 2009

The Zuhair Murad Spring/Summer 2009 Haute Couture Collection at Paris Fashion Week was a successful experiment based on an aquatic theme. Black and gold were dominant in the first part of the dramatic Le Bal des Sirènes collection. The second half was absolute genius – featuring slender silhouettes in watery shades like turquoise, aqua, marine blue and pale blue ornate with coral motifs.

The sequined patterns on couture gowns and skirts recreated the growth of corals underneath the water. Murad aptly used crystal studded shell patterned accessories to partner with cocktail dresses, skirts, strapless gowns and one-shouldered prom dresses.

Elie Saab, the king of red carpet fashion, introduced his Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2009 collection at Paris Fashion Week. This season, the Middle Eastern designer offers a sober and stylish assortment of eveningwear, featuring everything from one-shouldered and strapless numbers to poufy sleeves and ruffles.

Intricate embroideries and crystal works looked fabulous on dusty blue, lilac, ivory and beige. Deviating from his hallmark empire bust line, the designer took a different approach, creating lean silhouettes in silk taffeta, chiffon, satin with brocade and organza detailing.

Highlights of the show:

Monday, February 2nd, 2009

Giorgio Armani (aka Fly Fashion Designer) unveiled his Fall 2008/Winter 2009 collection at Milan’s Fashion Week. What we saw was a breath of fresh air for women looking to infuse a classic business wardrobe with a little flair. The collection is centered around both traditional and jersey jackets (with one or two button options). Paired with light silk pants, the runway models looked totally cool and comfortable. Our verdict: truly read-to-wear. We think the celebs in the audience and Milan’s fashion faithful would agreed.
