ZUHAIR MURAD SPRING 2014 COUTURE


 Zuhair Murad presented a magnificent collection of dresses. Not that it should surprise anyone, taking into account all the previous collections by the Lebanese designer. However, I was very much impressed by all the items showed off at the show. The fashion house is well known for impeccable designs and marvelous styles, but for some reason the lines seem to remind me of the ones by Elie Saab. I wonder whether it is because the two of them have the same roots and influence of the Middle Eastern culture.  Whatever it is, let’s not bother with it for now. Especially when we have more interesting things awaiting for us. Read on and you will be totally overwhelmed by Zuhair Murad Spring 2014 Couture collection.

You will fall in love with all the outfits that were showcased on the runway. The designer definitely knows what dresses make our minds go crazy. How else then can we possibly explain this wide range of elegant and exquisite gowns that everyone got obsessed with? I am pretty sure all the female celebrities marked at least one dress form the collection as a choice for a red carpet event. If I had such a chance, I would go for all of them.
Zuhair Murad offers more than 30 frocks in various styles, color combinations, textures and patterns. One has quite a lot to choose from and even if you don’t own an account in the Swiss bank, this is still helpful. You may imagine yourself trying on some of the pieces or even use the images to come up with the design of your own dress.

Elie Saab Fall/Winter 2014/2015

Elie Saab surprised me a lot. Actually I was expecting a whole bunch of sophisticated and luxurious gowns with lots of embellishment and embroidery. Yet, what my eyes saw was way different from my humble expectations. A number of super sophisticated outfits in a very moderate style replace each other on the runway, as the models glow and allure. You will be overwhelmed by the striking dresses or classy pantsuits as well as fur coats and lace shirts.
The color palette of Elie Saab Fall 2014 deserves special attention. The magnificent collection srarts with ensembles in deep and yummy burgundy, which sets the mood for the whole show.

The Aston Martin DB9 Black & White Carbon Editions



Rather than outright performance, style and what Aston Martin describes as “visual drama” are the hallmarks of the new special editions. DB9 Carbon Edition maintains the irresistible blend of potency, beauty and technical expertise of the current DB9 with styled exterior and interior features. Offered in a choice of Carbon Black or Stratus White, and in both Coupe and Volante formats, each model exudes a visual magnetism !

Beautiful in form, lightweight in function, the Aston Martin DB9 Carbon Black and Carbon White editions feature five striking exterior details : front splitter, mirror caps, side strake, rear lamp infills and rear diffuser, to create a dark design theme either complementing ou constrating with the choice of the exterior paint.
Bold exterior, opulent interior, the carbon-fibre facia, the paddle-tips and the door pulls weave interior to exterior as supple leather cossets to create a unique driving environment. An optional accent of red, silver, or yellow flashes through stiching, interior welt and head-rest embroidery bring a spark of light !
Bespoke sill plaques with the Carbon Black or Carbon Whitelogo, communicate the cars’ rarity. This signature of distinction completes Aston Martin’s sense of detail ! Aston MartinDesign Director Marek Reichman explained: “The classic DB9 Carbon Black and daring DB9 Carbon White special editions give this timeless GT a fresh and highly desirable new appearance.”
Of course the styling changes don’t alter the DB9’s inherent grand touring capabilities, qualities that make it the world’s most admired and desired GT. DB9 and its cutiing-edge AM11 V12 engine deliver peak power of 517 PS and a sprint time of just 4.6 secs.
Moreover, the new Carbon editions accentuate the 295Kmh (183 mph) DB9’s 6.0-litre V12 potential through a strong dark theme underpinned by a unique combination of lightweight carbon fibre features. The Aston Martin DB9 Carbon Edition achieves maximum impact, fusing simplicity, discretion and drama in a unique dark or white theme. DB9 Carbon Edition makes a statement without saying a word!
