Aldo is bringing couture-inspired footwear to the mass market through its first collaboration with a couture house, Zuhair Murad. For the footwear retailer, the partnership is an opportunity to change how consumers perceive the brand as well as sell another collection of party shoes.
Founded in Beirut in 1997, Zuhair Murad has built an international business spanning couture, bridal, ready-to-wear and accessories.
