ZIAD NAKAD PRESENTS “L’HORTENSE” – Spring–Summer 2027 Ready-to-Wear Collection

The hydrangea becomes the soul of L’Hortense, a collection celebrating the multifaceted beauty of contemporary femininity, where delicacy meets strength, elegance embraces transformation, and individuality flourishes through change.

At the heart of the collection emerges L’Hortense, the embodiment of the modern woman as envisioned by Ziad Nakad. Graceful yet resilient, alluring yet assured, she evolves with the world around her without ever losing her essence. Much like the hydrangea, whose blossoms can shift from pink to blue depending on the nature of the soil, she possesses an extraordinary ability to adapt and transform while remaining true to herself. Her strength lies in her versatility, her beauty in her authenticity, and her elegance in her capacity to flourish wherever life takes her.

This poetic vision unfolds through a luminous interplay of colour. Soft pastels mingle with delicate pinks, warm beiges, verdant greens, serene blues, and vibrant reds, while subtle touches of gold lend the creations an air of refined opulence. Hues blend and flow into one another in painterly gradations, echoing the hydrangea’s naturally layered petals. Like blossoms unfurling in a summer garden, colours intertwine across the silhouettes, creating a captivating sense of movement and vitality.

The collection’s romantic spirit is expressed through an exquisite selection of fabrics. Ethereal tulle, embroidered tulle, intricately embellished crepe, structured taffeta, and delicate mousseline come together in a harmonious dialogue between lightness and texture. Floral motifs bloom across the fabrics, recreating the intricate beauty of hydrangea clusters, while sheer layers and airy textures lend the silhouettes a dreamlike softness. True to the unmistakable signature of Maison Ziad Nakad, embroidery remains at the heart of the collection. Delicate metallic threads and intricate floral compositions intertwine with colours and textures, tracing the rhythm of petals in bloom. Each detail reflects the meticulous craftsmanship and artistic sensibility that define the house.
