Zuhair Murad tooks ispiration from his trip in Morocco for the Fall 2018 Couture show. Drawing, magpie-like, from his own lexicon along with a dash of Yves Saint Laurent in Marrakech in the ’70s, he transposed the colors and artisanal motifs he had admired on tile work and carpets, and borrowed from the traditional tattoos worn by desert tribes, conflating those with Indian influences and recasting them all through meter upon meter of bejeweled, sequined silk chiffon and taffeta.
