“I can’t say enough positive things about my experience with ZB Couture. I came to Zahra with a request to add a custom top to a jumpsuit. She patiently explained the process, shared thoughtful feedback, and offered creative ideas. The final piece was absolutely gorgeous, and I couldn’t be happier with the result.”

ZB COUTURE STORY

Unforgettable Dresses for Life’s Most Magical Moments

Meet Zahra Batool, ZB Couture’s Designer

distinctive couture wedding dress designer in NYC

I create hand painted bridal gowns and couture wedding dresses for the modern woman who wants it all impeccably crafted, sustainably luxurious designs that honor herself and Mother Nature. My journey as an artist began with crayons and coloring paper and took me right through to a bachelor of arts in textile design and post-grad study at New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology.

Through it all, I always knew I wanted my designs to empower women giving them the confidence to step into the spotlight and shine at their weddings and other meaningful life moments. As a couture wedding dress designer, I studied everything from design and draping to fashion theory and tailoring, ensuring that any artistic vision I could imagine could be brought to life in vivid, full color reality. That deep passion for brides, beauty, and craftsmanship planted the seeds of my career as a bridal couturier, creating hand painted couture wedding dresses that are as personal as they are timeless. When I debuted my first collection in 2018, I named it Symphony of Rose to reflect the grand romance and immersive artistry behind my custom bridal gowns. Since then, ZB Couture has grown beyond my wildest dreams. I’ve been honored to have my work featured by Neiman Marcus, Vogue, Condé Nast, Bergdorf Goodman and Tatler, a reflection of ZB Couture’s commitment to creating artistic wedding dresses that celebrate individuality, craftsmanship, and modern luxury.
