A fashion show of caftans by Sefrou haute couture designers Nany Cerise was recently held on the terrace at Cafe Clock. Helen Ranger was there for The View from Fez.
This green velvet caftan embroidered in gold started the proceedings. It reappeared later with a gold lace takshita (long jacket worn over the caftan) encrusted with 'emeralds'. There were some beautiful designs in bold colours, augmented by the passementerie (elaborate embroidery and tiny buttons) that Sefrou is famous for.
Crowd-pleasers included a floaty pink floral, a dramatic black with silver embroidery and large silver buckle on the belt, a cherry ice satin with maroon velvet trim and a stunning lemon and lime. Not to be left out, the men wore handsome outfits too, one in black and one in white with brown embroidery, particularly on the stand-up collar.
The models were all from Sefrou, coached by local Peace Corps workers, and were very professional.
The Nany Cerise boutique is in Sefrou, ph 061 52 27 71 or 066 73 52 80.
