Zuhair Murad

Designer Zuhair Murad grew up in Baalbek, Lebanon. Since his childhood, he always dreamed of evading to a world of fantasy. He started sketching dresses at the age of ten, quoted as saying “I don’t recall a day in my life without a pen in my hand!”.

In 1997, Zuhair Murad opened his first atelier in Beirut, catering to a growing private clientele. 

In 2001, Murad presented his couture collection for the first time during Haute Couture Week in Paris, gaining momentum with international media.

In 2005, Murad debuted the first Zuhair Murad Ready-to-Wear Collection, a more simple – yet still aesthetically glamorous – contemporary line designed to meet the expanding needs of his clientele.

In 2007, Murad inaugurated his Parisian “Maison de Couture” in the heart of the Triangle d’Or on “François 1er” Street. The ground floor of the Parisian showroom is dedicated to ready-to-wear collections , whereas a new luxurious yet simplistic floor is inaugurated to display the couture and bridal dresses; it contains a workshop and a design studio conceived as an extension to the Lebanese Fashion House in Paris.

In 2014, he officially inaugurated his bridal boutique located in his eleven-story building in Beirut, where his wedding dresses are sold and displayed.
