Since his beginnings, the Lebanese designer Ziad Nakad has always wanted to sublimate women, weaving around the female body a precious and timeless creation.

For the Spring-Summer 2022 collection, the designer invites us to discover a collection of muses, all different, and all cosmopolitan, having in common an assumed femininity. The choice of models, like muses, was decisive. The designer wanted a panel of women from around the world to emphasize the fact that beauty is universal. Models came from France, Australia, Georgia, United States, Germany, Netherlands and Korea.

The opening dress of the collection is a symbol of light, which was born from darkness -an invitation to make a wish. Throughout the collection we find the signature of Ziad Nakad : oversized shoulders and marked waists underlined by jeweled belts and embroidery. The signature dresses are created like mosaics, sewn square by square in the atelier in Beirut. The work of 6 months with an incalculable number of hours per dress, in order to create this perfect architecture which molds the body of the woman. Tulle, taffeta and lace are highlighted to reveal a slender silhouette. A line of accessories, to include Swarovski belts and oversized earrings, complete the silhouette.
