Take a look at the images of the latest fashions hitting the Morccan catwalk and you'll find they are a long way from the hijab and the burqa - in fact by anyone's standards they are chic and modern. Young women in the larger Moroccan cities have long ago given up on traditional garb and look to the passing eye that they might just have easily been strolling on the streets of Paris rather than Casablanca. In the medinas and cities like Fez, the older styles still hold sway but even that is changing.
The latest fashion event, organised by Femmes de Maroc Magazine and entitled “La Semaine De La Mode” (Fashion's week), started on March 11 with many fashion parades of local clothes designers.
More than 20 stylists have participated in the event, including Zahra El yaagoubi, zineb souissi, Meriem Kettani, Valerie Navarro and Hicham Belmekki.
Launched in 2005, the event brought together Moroccan stylists to display their creations in the field of ready-to-wear with a Moroccan touch, and young talented stylists to compete.
Fashion's week is also an opportunity for Moroccan creators to exhibit their works and meet fashion professionals.
The five selected winners will participate in Show Caftan, which will take place in Marrakech's Palais des congrès.
For the young talents, Caftan adventure is a wonderful opportunity and a start of a promising career.
The success of Caftan event pushed the organisers to adventure in the ready-to-wear field, trying to impose Moroccan brands through “more accessible” creations, including dresses and jeans with Moroccan touch.
