The esotericism provided a rich metaphorical dream scene for Zuhair Murad this season. Tarot signs, an all-seeing eye and horoscope symbols exploded in their colorful collection, providing ample opportunity to play with the gorgeous embellishments they made.
“I’m really attached to this world, and I’m curious to know about the future and this world that’s really mysterious and really old, you know. You don’t know if that’s true, or meaning, and I love signs and symbols,” explained the designer backstage before the show.
The “fortune teller” was decked out in bronze on the front of a gown with a sweetheart neckline, spreading silver-star embroidery over its entire tulle skirt. Less literally, such mysterious characters were referred to in gypsy skirts layered in ruffles of tulle and silk turbans in an array of jewel tones.
In bright red and green, he draped his silk with flair, adding touches of embroidery at the shoulders or waist—a pair of hands that appeared to hang like belt tassels, a nod to palmistry.
A crop top, sequined bodysuit or allover embroidered pant with a central eye offered a vibrant contemporary spin on the look, while a velvet-bodice number with a circular skirt featuring an embroidered astrology chakra in silver would make a statement on the red carpet.
