Are you ready for the exclusive…
Truly a brand I look forward to seeing ever season. Forever captivated by the design and elegance of each piece that only grows as you lengthen your gaze to admire the details. The Birds of Paradise of the Lebanese designer Ziad Nakad landed at the Château de Vaux-Le-Vicomte for a collection full of colors and symbols.
Fly away from Beirut, bruised by recent events, longing for escape, for dreams, for travel. Ziad wanted this collection sexy, slightly frivolous , in order to regain the carefree life of yesterday. The dresses are majestic, transparent, airy, the ostrich feathers mingle with silk and lace. All pieces are entirely hand-embroidered in the designer's atelier, lockdown has given time to time …for example the wedding dress required 3 months of work, or 3 months of escape ...

TESSERA:
Inspired by the ancient mosaic, Ziad Nakad's Fall Winter 2019 2020 couture collection is an ode to architecture and geometry. Marked waists , oversize and asymmetrical sleeves are true technical features while giving an impression of lightness in resolutely feminine outfits.

Silhouettes with embroidery embellishments like "tessellas" and "tesserulas" reveal an aerial mosaic. It is this alliteration assemblage that inspired the designer for the collection’s title.
A colorful collection, from blue to red, from gold to silver with black tips.
Always concerned regarding high quality, Ziad Nakad mingles tulles and chiffons, lace and velvet, giving his creations an architectural and modern dimension, always reminding us his mastery in cuts and volumes.

Last season I had the ultimate pleasure of attending Ziad Nakad's breathtaking collection at the Hôtel Westin Paris Vendôme and the best show I've ever been too. The spring summer 2018 line is no different; it's simply stunning, elegant and full of beauty that embodies Paris chic at its best. I urge you to take the time to watch the runway show below to marvel at these glimmering gowns!
More about the Collection
For his Spring Summer 2018 collection, Ziad Nakad decided to celebrate
the « Goddess of wheat" and
"Mother of the Earth". Goddess who gathers the fruits of the earth
and offers them to humanity; its cult is particularly flourishing in the
countries where this wheat is found in abundance, in Sicily, in the region of
Eleusis, in Crete, in Thrace and in the Peloponnese.
Like a bird flying over the harvests, perfectly free, crossing a
colorful sky, resplendent and singularly geometric: the pale blue of the
firmament mixes with the yellow and gold of the wheat, the green of the earth,
the coral of the ocean and the bronze
trees at sunset. Wheat ears dot the dresses, a tribute to the most iconic
representation of the goddess Demeter. Dress after dress, Ziad Nakad plays a
subtle game that celebrates life in a precise mastered know-how and silk
embroidery sublimated tulles.
Ziad Nakad created this collection for a strong woman, assumed,
voluntary but also and especially generous, inspired by one of the most
favorable deities to humans, as a symbol of accomplishment and peace.
