Zuhair Murad: we must prove that we will stay in Lebanon and rebuild the country – The National

Zuhair Murad’s sparkling creations may have dressed celebrities worldwide, but he has always been adamant that his headquarters remain in his homeland.

Despite the Lebanese designer's offices suffering severe damage in the Beirut port explosion in 2020, he stayed on in the country.

Directly after the blast, Murad raised money for the relief efforts by rallying his international clientele, designing a limited edition T-shirt and donating the proceeds to the humanitarian non-government organisation Offrejoie.
