Embodied luxury and feminine strength by designer Ziad Nakad Lebanese designer Ziad Nakad unveils his Ready-to-Wear Fall/Winter 2026–2027 collection, titled “Aurea.”
A celebration of elegance, beauty, and opulence, the collection radiates a powerful energy, designed to instill in every woman a sense of strength and continuity.
It is an invitation to shine from within, through silhouettes that reflect confidence, command presence, and translate boldness into a refined and contemporary expression.
The collection is built on luxurious fabrics such as velvet and crepe, enriched with embroidery and intricate beadwork, alongside airy chiffon adorned with delicate hand-applied pearls and sequins, lending each piece a sophisticated glow. Innovative, unconventional cuts define the collection, ranging from draped sleeves to voluminous ones, creating a strong visual impact and a commanding silhouette.
Structured designs take center stage, with corsetry emerging as a key element to sculpt and highlight the figure, while one-shoulder styles embody a bold yet elegantly restrained femininity.
The designer’s signature is evident in distinctive details, including fur stoles that elevate certain looks, as well as detachable sheer sleeves that add a refined, feminine touch and enhance the overall allure. A Diverse Wardrobe of Iconic Pieces As with every Ziad Nakad collection, a rich variety of designs and colors offers something for every taste. The palette has been carefully curated to reflect different facets of the modern, empowered woman.
Deep hues such as dark green, intense pink, and soft fuchsia are complemented by a luxurious spectrum of navy blue, gold, off-white, dusty pink, burgundy, black, and gray. The collection features a wide range of pieces, from skirts, shirts, and trousers to modern interpretations of the caftan.
A standout element is the blazer-style dress, which merges classic tailoring with a contemporary edge. Defined by sharp lines and precise construction inspired by suiting, it features structured lapels and buttons that add a sense of authority, while a cinched waist enhances feminine appeal. This design delivers a confident, powerful look, reflecting the identity of the modern woman who balances elegance and boldness effortlessly.
Other silhouettes vary between fluid and structured forms, with long sleeves and low-waist cuts that combine comfort with architectural refinement. Meticulous tailoring is evident throughout, with carefully engineered cuts that create a harmonious balance between strength and femininity. Aurea is ultimately a message to every woman, to shine with confidence, express her strength, and assert her presence with unforgettable elegance.
