Zuhair Murad gained popularity as a fashion when he made his first appearance on the catwalks of Rome with an impressive collection that led to his participation in the Italian calendar. Later, he also came up with the Zuhair Murad Ready-to-Wear Collection and the Zuhair Murad Style Home, which he moved to an eleven-story building in Gemmayze, Beirut.
Zuhair has already opened his third shop in Beruit and plans to expand the fashion to include beauty products, perfumes, swimwear and lingerie, as well as furnishings.
During the 2010 Emmy Awards, Nina Dobrev, Christina Aguilera, Wanda Sykes and singer Jewel were seen wearing Zuhair Murad dresses.
Likewise, the list of superstars who have put on his creations includes Marion Cotillard, Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, Ivana Trump, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, Beyoncé Knowles, Jennifer Lopez, Kellie Pickler, Najwa Karam, Shakira, Katy Perry, Christina Applegate, Vanessa Williams, Ana Ortiz, and many more.
After that Kristen Stewart wore his dress at the Toronto Film Festival for the screening of her film On the Road, and also during the premiere in Los Angeles of her movie The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2.
It seems at present Zuhair is single or not dating anyone.
As one of the leading fashion designers in the world, there is no doubt that Zuhair earns a huge amount of money. Just to give you an example of how much his demand has soared in recent days, Murad has said that soon after designing Sofia Vergara's extravagant wedding gown, he fielded hundreds of calls from brides-to-be who wanted to don his creation on their special day.
The gown required more than 1,000 man hours worth of work. A team of 30-plus people was involved in making it.
Murad's current net worth is estimated to be around $14 million. His elegant but offbeat wedding gowns, which have a huge demand throughout the west, usually sell for $15,000-20,000. He also owns a fashion house named Zuhair Murad Fashion House in Beirut.
