The Kimye Wedding

The long awaited wedding between Kim Kardashian and Kanye West took place this past weekend. They had the most amazing rehearsal dinner at the elegant Palace of Versailles in Paris on Friday, May 23. The couple wore matching Maison Martin Margiela outfits.

Saturday the 24th of May was the D-day. The reality TV star and rapper tied the knot in the presence of close friends and family in Florence, Italy. The ceremony was held at Forte di Belvedere, a 16th century era fortress atop a hill near the Arno river.

All we got was a glimpse of the wedding dress and it looked fab!!! 

Kim wore Givenchy. Her close friend and designer Riccardo Tisci, who attended the wedding, was responsible for creating Kim’s breathtaking gown.

The groom also wore Givenchy, as did the couple’s 11-month-old daughter North. Kanye wore a custom wedding tuxedo and baby North wore a custom Haute Couture dress matching Kim’s. 

Zuhair Murad Fall Couture 2013

 

 

 

In view of his exquisite couture collections, it’s easy to see how Zuhair Murad has weaved a spell across Hollywood, with fans like Jennifer Lopez, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Swift.

 

For Fall 2013, Murad takes us on a stroll through an ‘Enchanted Forest’, where luminosity directs the way in the form of glistening crystal beads, iridescent embroideries and lustrous metallics. Twinkling twigs and budding vine designs ascend across the array of fitted mermaid gowns, illusion tulle bodices and flaired out skirts.

 

Sumptuous velvets, satins, delicate guipure lace and liquid lamés are boldly tinted in rich blue hues from vibrant sapphire to indigo and a darker ultramarine. The collection varies from the faintest romantic nudes to sultry charcoal and a sip of bordeaux. Dark moss green gowns enhanced the woodland theme, garnished with a sequined maze of bare tree branches. This season Murad also experiments with interesting woven necklines, sculpted corsets, elegant peplum skirt suits and a flurry of feathers.

 

This is a glance into the entrancing Fall 2013-14 Couture Collection of Zuhair Murad.
