Ziad Nakad dreams up gowns for a magical Snow Crystal Forest

A romantic vision of modern goddesses in magical colours: from snow flakes white to a spectrum of smoky greys and glittering silver, wintry purples, velvet, tulle, lace, intricate embroideries and elaborate beading in soft reds and  powdery pinks, midnight blues, champagne and white.

For this Autumn-Winter 2017/2018 collection on show recently at the Paris Haute Couture Fashion Shows, Zaid Nakad, born of a Lebanese descent, dreams up gowns for "The Snow Crystal Forest",.

Celebrities and headline-grabbing society women seeking their memorable red carpet moment would be spoiled for choice as the designer known for combining sophistication and luxury with head-turning drama turns out design after design of show-stopper evening gowns.

Body-revealing femininity manifest through the use of cut-outs on the back and shoulders as each gown shines through extraordinary detailing, accentuating statuesque figures in a fairy tale.

And among the most alluring of his head-turning gowns on show at the Hôtel Westin Paris Vendôme are creations for brides, dressed like a queen or a modern day goddess in white and muted gold illuminated through dramatic sequence and embroidery  for a dramatic effect.
