In Zian's own words: Fly away from Beirut, bruised by recent events, longing for escape, for dreams, for travel.






Ziad wanted this collection sexy, slightly frivolous , in order to regain the carefree life of yesterday. 


The dresses are majestic, transparent, airy, the ostrich feathers mingle with silk and lace. 


All pieces are entirely hand-embroidered in the designer's atelier; the lockdown has given designer the time to do his magic…for example the wedding dress that required 3 months of work, or 3 months of escape ...
