 About
Moroccan caftans.
Moroccan fashion has always
contained an element of art. From simple stitching to intricate embroidery,
Arabic women have played a role in the creation of their wardrobes. It is an
ancient tradition for groups of Moroccan women to sit around a table and bead
elaborate patterns on exquisite fabrics. It is often not only the work of
one woman on a hand-beaded dress, but also the work of multiple women. Moroccan Clothing then takes on
more than a functional purpose; it becomes the handiwork of a proud
community of women who revere dressmaking and design as an art inherent unto
itself. It becomes an avenue for these Moroccan women to express their artistry,
intelligence, and desires.
 Dressmaking is not a rote occupation, it is a
past-time which brings about new expressions of artistry on fabrics, thus
developing one-of-a-kind garments. Even simple veils, whether beaded or un-beaded, embroidered or unembroidered, are used to enhance the eyes and
play on the mystique of women and their natural sensuality. The flowing
fabrics of their long dresses and the often-rich colors of the fabrics are
meant to enhance a woman's femininity at all times, while at the same time,
pronouncing her strong character. Even though Arabic women's fashion may
seem simple, it is truly complex.
In Morocco, fashion preserves its traditional style inherited from great
civilizations that found their way to Northwest Africa, such as the Ottomans
and the Turks. What is important in today's Moroccan fashion is the fusion
of modern Western style with the traditional Moroccan style. Moroccan
fashion has been recognized for its style and has garnered a reputation,
winning awards in international fashion shows throughout Europe. This
contemporary style responds to today's Arabic women's needs: authenticity,
sophistication, and fluid lines. Women in the Western world are migrating
towards this contemporary Moroccan fashion as it brings the Old World to
them in a New World elegance and chic style.
Moroccan Fashion is made for those who like to wear informal but elegant
clothing, Elizabeth Taylor is renowned for wearing the Moroccan caftans all
year long.
The Moroccan Kaftan
transitioned from traditional apparel made from heavy and excessive fabric
to today's sheer, form-fitting, and bare sexy and stylish gowns. The Moroccan khaleeji
(dress), originally adopted from the Gulf area, differs from the traditional
Middle Eastern khaleeji, in that the Moroccan dress has more westernized
arms that are less cumbersome and allow for more natural movement without
excess fabric.
