The couturier pays homage to the Phoenicians’ love for the sea with this release. It is an ode to light, waves, wind, marine beauty and Mediterranean sunsets.
A number of fashion industry insiders were on hand to take in the show, with the likes of British actress and model Amy Jackson, French catwalk star Flora Coquerel, Italian actress Carla Bruni and Emirati singer Ahlam Al-Shamsi, to name a few.

The collection features a blend of Greco-Roman influences, boasting drapery, Arabesque designs, and cascading chains on luxurious fabrics like caddy crepe, chiffon, lame lurex, charmeuse and satin. Murad drew inspiration from the movement of water and the treasures of sea voyages, with a standout ivory satin kimono dress adorned with crystal sea spray along its edges.

The color palette is also inspired by Mediterranean hues and metallic reflections. Faded reds evoke marine twilights and ancient amphorae wine, while deep greens represent olives and the richness of Phoenician plains.
