22nd of January 2020, Paris – Another celebration of beauty and elegance, another dedication to women everywhere who like to feel unique, sophisticated and glamorous. Lebanese designer Ziad Nakad showcases his new Spring-Summer 2020 collection entitled “Atlantis” during Paris Fashion Week Haute Couture in Paris .

The idea of Atlantis — the “lost” island subcontinent often idealized as an advanced, utopian society holding wisdom that could bring world peace — has captivated dreamers, occultists and New Agers for generations.

Ziad Nakad imagines, for his Spring-Summer 2020 Couture collection, the Modern Day Warrior Princesse. He brings the “lost” Atlantis into the present through designs that combine feminity, sensuality and warrior power.

The celebration of fierceness, softness, determination, ingenuity and compassion that makes up the Modern Day Warrior Princess is electric and eclectic : tulle, silk and taffeta mixed with organza and chiffon emphasize the mermaid silhouettes.

The Modern Day Warrior Princesses, have been able to play to the strength of being female, to celebrate their femininity, not to shy away from it or downplay it: crystals, beads, feathers, all handmade details, are underlining all shades of blue, water green, sun yellow, peach and gold.

A hymn to sensuality, as fluid as the sea and as bright as the sun.
