    Chbakrou Maxi Dress : Zainab Sumu Primitive Modern

    Chbakrou Maxi Dress

    An ode to Zainab’s mother, who once wore a dress of similar grace, the Chbakrou Maxi is a silhouette steeped in memory and made anew. A silhouette remembered. A spirit renewed. Featuring original artwork from the Gnawa Series, it blends heritage with ease, a quiet tribute in motion.

    With a square neckline, wide three-quarter sleeves, soft pleating at the shoulders and waist, hidden side pockets, and a flounced hem, the Chbakrou offers comfort without compromise, flowing, grounded, and effortlessly refined.

    Tailored in Marrakech, designed in Boston.
    One size | Approx. 51" length

    Available in limited editions:

    • Fleur Noir — rayon | Edition of 10

    • THE STORY
      chbakrou-maxi-dress

      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 woman-owned factory in Morocco to create the Capsule Collection pieces.
