The Maghreb is always worth a visit. This was also Beirut fashion designer Zuhair Murad’s opinion, when he designed the couture collection for fall and winter of 2019/2020. He combined the cultural heritage of northern Africa with the bohemian life of the 1970s to a collection at the crossover of epochs and traditions. Under the motto “MIRAGES ET OASIS”, motifs and patterns referred to Moroccan carpets, while novel turbans elevated the looks. On 3rd July 2019, Zuhair Murad illustrated in the Hôtel Potocki in Paris, what was meant by cultural rootedness.
