THE DETAILS
Ya Moulana Maxi Dress
Flowing and transformative, the Ya Moulana Maxi Dress invites styling as free as the spirit it honors. Wear it as a long open cardigan, a layered tunic over pants, skirts or as a breezy beach cover-up, each variation a quiet statement in movement and ease.
The neck-to-hem buttons offer fluidity and form, while deep hidden pockets keep essentials close.
Featuring original, hand-illustrated artwork from the Gnawa Lila, a visual homage to the trance of dancers, the rhythm of the guembri and qraqeb, and the floral embroidery and cowries adorning ceremonial dress.
Tailored in Marrakech, designed in Boston.
One size | Approx. 54" length
Lila Jaune — viscose, rayon

THE STORY
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.
