Zuhair Murad
On June 26th, we were in for a surprise as the runway unveiled its magic. The first model walked out in a stunning bodysuit adorned with pearls, featuring a high neckline, elegant long sleeves, and legs that seemed to go on forever. This breathtaking ensemble created a silhouette that was both unique and captivating, with intricate beading and embellishments stealing the show right from the start. And that was just the beginning of Zuhair Murad’s Fall Couture 2024 collection at Paris Fashion Week!
Drawing inspiration from elegant sensuality, this collection paid homage to women who have overcome challenges to become powerful versions of themselves. Each piece revealed a story of resilience and beauty, transcending past pains to showcase invincible grace. The color palette ranged from delicate flesh tones and vibrant reds to earthy browns and sophisticated blacks and grays, reminiscent of armor.
True to Zuhair Murad’s signature style, the collection sparkled with every step. It was a sanctuary of exquisite textures like silk dupion, chiffon, satin, and crêpe cady—perfectly crafted for every woman who seeks both luxury and empowerment.
Schiaparelli
Well, if there’s one brand that knows how to steal the spotlight on the runway, it’s Schiaparelli. On June 24th, amidst the presence of top names like Doja Cat, Idris Elba, Maria Sharapova, and Kylie Jenner, Schiaparelli unveiled their Fall Couture 2024 collection. The show kicked off with a dramatic entrance—a model in a breathtaking gown adorned with elaborate feathers—setting the stage for what they describe as ‘the ever-expanding universe of Maison Schiaparelli.’
This collection pays homage to Elsa Schiaparelli’s unparalleled gift for reinvention, matched only by its impeccable craftsmanship. Each piece stands out with its distinctive silhouette and meticulous craftsmanship, showcasing the evolution from initial sketch to final fabric. The lineup features a stunning array of gowns, intricate bustiers, elegant high-heeled shoes, and more.
However, the true standout of the collection has to be the exquisite Corset Bustier Dress. Crafted from shimmering silver silk satin, it boasts swirling layers of tonal satin organza at the hem, culminating in a mesmerizing 3D vintage shoe illusion at the back.
