Yes. Zuhair Murad is a Lebanese couture house and one of the names most associated with red-carpet eveningwear. The designer launched his label in 1995, built ateliers in Beirut on Charles Helou Avenue and in Paris on rue François I, and has shown on the Paris Haute Couture schedule since 2001. The house works across haute couture, bridal, and ready-to-wear, and its gowns are a fixture of international award seasons.

What makes Zuhair Murad a luxury house

The signature is ornate hand embroidery, crystal and bead work, and sheer illusion tulle that reads as barely there on the body. Pieces are developed in the atelier and finished by hand, which places the label firmly in the couture and couture-adjacent tier rather than contemporary designer. The aesthetic leans into Old Hollywood glamour, sculpted waists, and a confident sweep of fabric built to be photographed.

Where Zuhair Murad sits on price

Ready-to-wear eveningwear from the house generally runs from the low thousands for a tailored separate to five figures for a fully embroidered gown. Haute couture is commissioned and priced privately. At Luxury Shoes , the Zuhair Murad dresses and separates in our edit are authenticated designer ready-to-wear, so you are buying the atelier hand without the couture commission.
