Mermaids and sea life inspired couture designers this week, offering an easy and fitting theme for summer collections. However, these oceanic visions contrast with the real environmental challenges the seas face today. Zuhair Murad's collection embraced this inspiration with a touch of '80s flair, skillfully incorporating embroidered corals into elegant designs, notably a nude tulle ball gown. The designer's preference for contemporary allure was evident in sleek, sequined silk tulle dresses with sensual cuts and flowing chiffon trains. The color scheme progressed from deep oceanic tones to luminous mother-of-pearl shades.
