They’re creating more than just
looks backstage ahead of the Ziad Ghanem Feb ’13 show; characters come to life
whilst hair and make-up is prepped and primed. Everything already looks like
it’s coming together as the busy work room starts to buzz with the
anticipation. Models painted with
colours of fantasy, it’s clear to see that anything goes with looks that
challenge the imagination. Models backstage twirl and pose with Ziad Ghanem’s
creative energy resonates throughout the room. Classic styles are being
reinvented with bursts of colour and an interesting play with materials.
Ziad Ghanem takes a hands-on
approach to this upcoming show, Fashion Scout takes a moment to chat with the
designer as he styles one of his models for the show.
You have such interesting characters in this collection, what is the
story behind this show?
It is about people changing their
appearance to fit into society and how they disguise themselves, it’s a
celebration of the old couturiers like Yves Saint Laurent, Christian Dior.
How do you keep the excitement in your shows season after season?
Because I get bored looking at
other designers!
What do you think of Fashion Scout as a platform for your work?
I think it’s amazing! It’s
beautiful here, they’re very nice and they give chances to creative designers
like me.
What’s next for you with the Ziad Ghanem brand?
I just love it! So, I’m just
going to carry on doing the same thing that I do.
