It all began one autumn afternoon, as my sisters and I were going through old family drawers. Among photographs and keepsakes, we discovered a very special album: my parents' wedding album.
In those photographs, I discovered the extraordinary richness of Morocco's traditional garments: their colours, embroidery, jewellery and the details that made each outfit an expression of identity and tradition.
That afternoon awakened in me the desire to bring this beauty onto paper.
I began creating illustrations inspired by traditional Moroccan clothing. What started as an artistic exploration gradually became a journey through the customs, textiles and cultural diversity of the country's different regions.
Each illustration brought me a little closer to this heritage and to the stories passed down from generation to generation.
And so my princesses were born.
A collection where illustration meets memory, and where traditional garments become the protagonists of a personal vision of Moroccan beauty and identity.
What began among old family photographs gradually developed into a project I have returned to over the years, reinterpreting my first creations and discovering new ways to express the richness of this tradition.
Today, my princesses remain a way of paying tribute to this heritage and sharing it through my art.
