"Zuhair Murad is so dope"

is what Kim Kardashian tweeted yesterday while getting ready for the 2010 Teen Choice Awards. Kim K. wore a gorgeously embellished slinky, one-shoulder mini dress from Lebanese designer, Zuhair Murad. She accessorized her outfit with sky high black platforms and a simple black clutch.

For us Muslimahs, this look is great for an all-girls get together; I would have probably wore this dress with black tights cuz it's super short!

Zuhair Murad is one of my favorite designers. His dresses are all unique, feminine, glamorous and beautiful. Zuhair Murad is based in Beirut, Lebanon and much of his style influences come from the very city he is from, "Everything is unique here you see," Murad said during an interview with CNN. He also reveals, "The woman is the first thing that inspired me." She's always well-dressed, even on the street, even if she wears jeans or a T-shirt, she's always perfect."

Here is an interview Zuhair Murad had with CNN in Beirut. The first portion of the clip is an unrelated video showing art in Oman, which is also very beautiful to see, but the interview with Murad begins right after. Enjoy!
