Designers Zuhair Murad, Elie Saab Jr., and Cynthia Merhej of Renaissance Renaissance share their personal stories of the Beirut explosion.
Three days after the Beirut explosion that killed over 150 people and injured thousands more, Lebanon’s President Michel Aoun raised the notion that the catastrophe was caused by “external interference.” There is little evidence to suggest it was, only mounting images of the humanitarian disaster now at hand. Many people remain missing, the hospitals are unable to treat those hurt in the blast, and homelessness and food insecurity concerns grow by the hour.
As followers of his Instagram have seen, with this tragedy Murad lost everything he had in Beirut: his offices were completely destroyed, along with 80% of his archives and all his work for the upcoming ready-to-wear and couture collections. A small portion of his work remains in the safety of his Paris offices.
Believing and rebuilding are part of the Lebanese DNA, he added. “It’s how we function and how we have lived for the past 30, 40 years. At the end of the day we have a presence and important craftsmanship. We want to do whatever we can to support the Lebanese people and maintain our cause and mission, to be inspired by Lebanon, to see it grow and to keep nurturing the talent and craftsmanship we have there,” he said.
