    Ed Zalba Trouser

    A classic palazzo reimagined through the lens of ritual and rhythm.

    The Ed Zalba Trouser features the Lila Cowrie artwork from the Gnawa Series, a nod to movement, spirit, and the shell-adorned garments of musicians. With hidden side pockets, front zipper, belt loops, and a relaxed fit, it’s both grounded and fluid in form.

    Tailored in Marrakech, designed in Boston.

  • THE STORY
    ed-zalba-trouser

    You can’t miss how comfortable the musicians look in their clothing as they move freely around the stage.

    I wanted to create a limited collection inspired by the fashion of the musicians with some key components.

    Without size constraints.

    Comfortable.

    Seasonless.

    All while still looking fabulous.

    Some are inspired by my mum’s own classic stylish pieces. All of these elements reflect the way the majority of African women dress.

  • THE PROCESS
    Working with a women-owned factory in Morocco to create the Capsule Collection pieces.
