CHIAROSCURO
Paris Haute Couture
Jan 2026
When the world has endured its longest nights, there is always a lingering breath. Beauty remains capable of mending what has been broken. For Spring–Summer 2026, Zuhair Murad invokes this saving beauty: a silent rebirth, born after dark ages, when art asserts itself as a necessity.
The palette unfolds in chiaroscuro, in sfumato. Diaphanous pastels emerge from deep shadows, as though each model were slowly stepping out of the night. Light appears filtered, colors hand-ground as in the era of the great Renaissance masters.
With this Couture Spring–Summer 2026 collection, Zuhair Murad opens a passage toward a new, optimistic, radiant world. After the night, comes the light.
