With his Resort 2026 Ready-to-Wear collection, Zuhair Murad doesn’t merely design garments—he sculpts reverie. In this otherworldly offering, clothing becomes jewelry, and jewelry becomes architecture, entwining the two in an embrace so seamless, it's almost mythic. Here, adornment is no longer decoration—it is identity, memory, and armor.

Drawing from the decadent Orientalist aesthetic of the early 20th century, Murad spins a tale of vintage romance infused with quiet rebellion. Faux pearls, gleaming crystals, and metallic embroidery aren't accessories—they breathe within the fabric, forming sculptural chokers, celestial brooches, intricate body harnesses, and softly gleaming inlays. This collection doesn’t embellish—it transforms.

Murad’s silhouettes oscillate between the ethereal and the unexpected: gossamer gowns, yes—but also balloon pants with ruched ankles, relaxed jumpsuits kissed with crystal trims, and shantung silk tunics adorned with delicate tie closures and floral embroidery. Every detail invites pause. Every piece tells a story.

The color palette whispers, rather than shouts: oyster beige, muted black, dusty pink—subtle tones that cradle the intricacy of their embellishments. Soft bursts of sage green and sunlit canary yellow flicker across select pieces, often in filigree embroidery or sheer lace—a quiet rebellion that feels intentional, like a secret smile.

Standout pieces defy expectation. A jeweled body harness, cascading like liquid armor from neck to hip, moves like a second skin—evocative, empowered. A mesh bodysuit laced in gemstone mosaic flirts with the line between sensuality and sculpture. Elsewhere, a tailored blazer becomes a storytelling vessel, its integrated scarf laced with pearls and miniature charms, like fragments of a modern heirloom.

Yet amid the opulence, there is restraint. A pink pleated dress stands out for its near-monastic simplicity. A georgette gown with asymmetrical lace, or a printed number that nods to soft romanticism, reminds us that minimalism too has a place in the palace.

Murad’s ingenuity also shines in the accessories, where multi-functional brooches double as halter ties or jacket accents, subtly reinforcing the idea that every detail in this collection is a modular expression of the self. These aren’t mere add-ons—they’re tools for transformation.

In a world that often feels heavy, Zuhair Murad offers magic as a means of resistance. This collection is a spell—woven with thread, crystal, and intention. It asks not just what we want to wear, but who we want to become. And in Murad’s world, elegance is more than beauty—it’s resilience wrapped in satin and shimmer.
