For her third season at Paris Couture Week, Sara Chraibi, the designer behind the eponymous fashion house presented a collection which was inspired by the devastating earthquake which hit her homeland, Morocco, last September.
The emotionally charged collection, featured a colour pattern inspired by Morocco, with colourways of brown, ochre, and russet, as well as gold, bronze and copper.
There were references to the geography of the land, from organic patterns to bursts of greens and blues, as well as traditional detailing.
It was also the first time the designer used print textiles, to depict the Tinmel Mosque which was nestled in the Atlas Mountains, and destroyed in the earthquake.
For the designer, this collection was not just about the seismic change in the landscape of her homeland, but also a tribute to its people too. Before the show, Chraibi said: “I wanted the collection to be strongly rooted in the earth, in tribute to all the people impacted by the earthquake and their resilience.”
