Zuhair Murad Ready-To-Wear Pre-Fall 2026 Collection « Indomptée, Indomptable »

Between winter gardens and grand hôtels particuliers in Paris, a free-spirited and glamorous Pre-Fall 2026 collection by Zuhair Murad is born. It celebrates audacity and the untamed personalities of the mythical courtesans who shaped the Golden Age as much as they defied it—bold, independent women who turned image into power, mystery into legend, and presence into a weapon.

Resolutely modern and daring, in this collection the Lebanese international designer reinvents the refinement of the Belle Époque while reinterpreting its opulence to tell a story of femininity in all its complexity. Silhouettes revisit the allure of the Countess de Castiglione and the Marchesa Casati. The corset asserts itself, sculpting the waist and defining the figure, appearing over trousers, sketched onto tailoring, or reimagined as a secondskin top. Menswear tailoring becomes the collection’s feminine emblem: precise shoulders, elongated trousers, clean lines ignited by subtle details—mother-of-pearl buttons, meticulously designed brooches.

Long gowns set the tone with airy volumes, velvet shimmers, and slits that whisper the secrets of Parisian nights. Fabrics glide, drape, and glow like glass panels beneath the skylights of Parisian greenhouses. Graphic lace, ethereal transparencies, embroidered tulles, and liquid satins shape a contemporary wardrobe—bold and incandescent. Opalescent chiffons brush the skin like a breath of light. The color palette draws from hushed salons and opulent bouquets, blending luminous and blazing hues: powdered ivory, velvet black, kiss-red, absinthe green, patinated gold, and faded rose.
