My Moroccan Wardrobe

 

Good morning Classy People, 

Yesterday was one of the most special!

I revealed my collection to several women on a Saturday afternoon around a table of sweets and colorful drinks.

It took me over a year to create different Moroccan pieces, from Gandouras to Takshitas, which seemed surreal according to my circumstances.

Pure intentions and work will always lead to a fruitful path, no matter how cliché it sounds. 

Women from various generations and nationalities were curious about my creations, enjoyed a fitting session, and chose to own at least one of my exposed pieces.

I enjoyed talking to them and exchanging knowledge about Moroccan fashion.

My current collection includes Kmiss, Gandoura, Jellaba, Kaftan, Selham, and Takshita.

Kmiss 

Kmiss is a clothing piece whose fabric is sober and refined with light craftsmanship. Moroccan women usually wear Kmiss underneath Jellaba, sometimes as home wear, or style it with some accessories for a casual outdoor outfit.

Gandoura

Gandoura is an oversized knee or ankle length clothing piece. Moroccan women wear it at home during summer and ceremonial occasions if the fabric allows it. The Gandoura today is styled as an outdoor outfit, especially at the beach.

Jellaba

The unisex tradition piece. Jellaba is the daily outdoor outfit of Moroccans!

It is a one-clothing piece considered a practical casual outfit.

Depending on the fabric, Moroccan women wear a Jellaba in winter and summer.

Kaftan

It is a clothing piece that reaches to the ankles, made with remarkable craftsmanship. Moroccan women wear it during festivities or at home when hosting an event.

Selham

Selham is a masculine piece worn by Moroccan women as a cape. This piece can be alone if closed, but it is usually open, so women wear it over an outfit. 

Takshita

It is a set of two Kaftans, one over the other. 

Takshita is the traditional Moroccan gown that women mainly wear during weddings and prestigious occasions.

It is also known as the most expensive Moroccan piece because of its fabric, golden or silver threads, and craftsmanship.
