Lebanese designer shows creations on world's highest catwalk

The Daily Star

Ziad Nakad is, quite literally, taking Lebanese fashion to new heights. The Beirut-based couturier will be traveling to the United States later this week to participate in an event of unrivaled (vertical) proportions. Nakad will be showing his latest collection at the J Autumn Fashion Show, which will be held on a catwalk suspended over the Grand Canyon, some 1,200 meters above the Colorado River below.

Nakad is particularly known for his bridal collections and dramatic eveningwear. Highly sculpted, embellished dresses have dominated his work for the past several seasons.

Although he has previously shown his designs in Europe and throughout the Middle East, the upcoming show will mark Nakad’s first trip to America.
