About Ziad Nakad
Ziad Nakad is a Beirut couture house that has built an enduring reputation for figure-flattering, crystal-embellished eveningwear. The label is known for gowns that celebrate the silhouette, combining intricate hand-embellishment with a strong sense of glamour that resonates far beyond Lebanon. Over the years it has become a go-to name for brides and red-carpet dressing across the Middle East, where its designs are prized for their romance and craftsmanship.
The house shows during Paris Haute Couture Week, taking its place on one of fashion’s most demanding international stages. That presence reflects both ambition and technical mastery, as couture-week collections must meet exacting standards of construction and finish. Each Ziad Nakad gown carries the signature of Lebanese atelier work, with beading, crystalwork, and draping applied by hand to create pieces designed for the most important moments in a client’s life, from weddings to galas.
