Zuhair Murad is a Lebanese fashion designer. He opened his first atelier in Beirut in 1995. His glittering, elegant gowns have become a celebrity favorite, with Miley Cyrus wearing one of his haute couture creations to the 2009 Academy Awards. Thanks to his talent for synthesizing the rich colours of his native homeland with the elegance of European women, even bigger things are to be expected of the rising couturier star.
