On Saturday, March 23, 2024, one of the most memorable events of my life took place: my first fashion show in Rabat. It was a beautiful day where I had the opportunity to showcase my exclusive line of jellabas and caftans during a special Ramadan edition.
Preparations began early in the morning. The excitement and anticipation were palpable as my team and I put the finishing touches on the garments. The venue was breathtaking—a stunning hotel with lush gardens that provided the perfect backdrop for my collection.
As evening fell, the show began. Guests, dressed in their finest Ramadan outfits, gathered around the runway, ready to admire the new collection. The lights dimmed, the music started, and it was time. The first model stepped onto the runway, draped in an elegant jellaba that moved gracefully with every step.
Each creation that followed was a celebration of craftsmanship and cultural heritage. The caftans were richly adorned with embroidery and pearls, each piece unique and handcrafted. The colors ranged from soft shades to deep, rich tones, reflecting the diversity of Moroccan culture. The audience was visibly impressed; you could see their admiration in their eyes and feel their excitement as each model walked by.
After the final round of applause, I felt an overwhelming sense of fulfillment and pride. This was more than just a fashion show; it was a celebration of months of hard work, creativity, and passion. It was an honor to present my work during such a special time of the year, and I was grateful for the opportunity to be part of this beautiful tradition.
The night ended with a warm iftar, where we enjoyed delicious Moroccan dishes and celebrated the successful show together. Conversations continued late into the evening, full of praise for the collection and plans for future collaborations. It was a magical conclusion to a day I will never forget.
My first fashion show in Rabat during the Ramadan edition exceeded all my dreams. It was a confirmation of my passion and dedication to fashion and culture, marking the beginning of a promising journey. This experience will always hold a special place in my heart, and I look forward to what the future holds.
