Zuhair Murad!

  

Zuhair Murad is a Lebanese fashion designer based in Beirut. He opened his first atelier in 1995 and soon became well known and established a high reputation amongst the top fashion designers.


























His style is ultra feminine with references to Egyptian Princesses and Grecian Goddesses with a modern twist, exploring lavish fabrics, glitter and lace. 

His latest Autumn/Winter 2012 collection reminds me of the Folkloric Ukraine trend I developed in one of my projects at university last year...with the involvement of lace, floral prints and the prime colours of red blue yellow and green. He has incorporated velvet amongst his collection which works well in the cooler season. These pieces are perfect for Christmas and New Year with all their sparkling embellishment!

  

  

Sweet Revenge

  

I absolutely love the new American hit TV show Revenge...Honestly, it was a bit slow at first and I couldn't really relate well to the main character Emily Thorne (Emily Vancamp) but as the story unfolds you get more caught up and grow more fonder of her and her mission.

I came across these photos from a magazine editorial photo shoot in Flare magazine from March and I thought they looked dazzling and truly showed this actress' beauty...especially in the diamanté lace Dolce and Gabbana dress. What a great image by Chris Nicholls!

Lana Del Rey for H&M

It has now been confirmed the stunning and elegantly beautiful Lana Del Rey will be the new face of H and M's new Autumn campaign suggested to be 'modern and feminine with a soft attitude' and where curves and waists are accentuated. This is going to be so exciting to see! Lana Del Rey is certainly an inspiring icon and highly suitable for H and M the brand!
