Ziad Ghanem in the autumn/winter 2011/2012 fashion week has taken his inspiration from the horror video game “Silent Hill” and the work of painter John-Henry Fuseli where he surprised audience with his presentation at London Fashion Week Autumn Winter 11/12
It’s quiet scary but the work itself is good. The way he mixes dark gothic with romantic is striking. Ziad toys with the gothic tradition – taking the male model and dressing in the gothic dress and veil. Ziad will once again prove to be one of the most talked about designers of the season.
The collection used traditional haute couture skills and techniques in fabric weaving, Ziad has been able to eliminate seams, create dramatic draping and work with an extreme bias cut. Sourcing vintage silk chiffon, duchess satin and Moroccan crepe from old couture mills and using their natural flow to fit the body and create new forms and shapes.
