Ziad Ghanem AW11 Fashion Show
Fashion designer Ziad Ghanem presented a spectacular collection full of creativity, eccentricism and theatricality at the Freemason’s Hall in Covent Garden.
Ghanem’s collection is entitled ‘Never End, Never End, Never End’ and takes inspiration from the horror video game “Silent Hill”, the work of painter John-Henry Fuseli and the movie “Black Swan”.
The catwalk show opened with a model in a black evening gown which turned into a maxi dress as she gained height. The first part of his collection was very dark and gothic and all the models had an extreme black lipstick that reminiscence ‘the joker’ from Batman.
Black was also the predominant colour in all the capes worn by the male models, which featured a complex beading and also complicated drapery. Particularly striking was the Frankenstein inspired bride and groom in black and white bridal wear, who amusingly are also a couple in real life.
Ghanem has used luxurious fabrics such as vintage silk chiffon, duchess satin and Moroccan crepe from old couture which fit perfectly the body and create new forms and shapes.
The second part had a more feminine and sensual touch with models wearing long vaporous dresses to highlight the sexiness of the female form. Key pieces were the black and brown dresses with bird prints, the light violet ‘Black Swan’ inspired dress worn by a ballerina and a shiny pink evening gown with a very low v-cut that exuded pure sensuality.
The show had a very eclectic display of models: transsexuals, men wearing female dresses and even an overweight model, who closed the catwalk.
The result was a magnificent fashion show that broke boundaries in the name of fashion, freedom of expression, beauty and art. A dramatic and visually stunning spectacle who took the audience breath away and one of the most inspiring and artistic fashion shows I have ever seen. Channel, Dior, Gucci, Versace…watch this space because Ziad Ghanem is the hottest designer of 2011.
