In this episode, I share my unforgettable experience studying abroad in Morocco and its significant impact on global fashion. I start by discussing my initial fascination with Moroccan culture, its French influences, and my time spent learning Arabic in Meknes. Morocco's natural beauty, both in its landscapes and its people, left a deep impression on me, and I dive into how Moroccan fashion, from traditional garments like the kaftan and jalaba to its booming leather industry, is shaping the global fashion scene.
Throughout the episode, I highlight my favorite parts of Moroccan culture: the generosity of its people, the importance of community, and their focus on sustainability in fashion. I also talk about Moroccan beauty practices, from their famous argan oil to unique traditions like the hamam bathhouses. By blending their natural beauty traditions with modern fashion, Morocco continues to influence international brands and designers.
This episode is my way of celebrating everything I loved about Morocco—its people, culture, and immense contribution to the global fashion industry. I hope it inspires you to explore more of the world and appreciate the rich fashion heritage found in different cultures.
