كيف كانت تجربتكم مع الحب؟
الافضل هو عدم تجربته وابقاء القلب طاهرا الى ان يكون اول من يدخله هو الزوج .. هكذا عاشت
نساء فاضلات على مدى قرون ، كان هنالك قصص ولكن ليست في مجتمع المؤمنات الصادقات
How was your experience with love? The best thing is not to try it and keep the heart pure until the first person to enter it is the husband. This is how virtuous women lived for centuries. There were stories, but not in the community of true believers.
A GEM in TANGIER
Bruno Frisoni found a house in Tangier and did it up together with Herve van der Straeten and it turned out divine and basically thats all you need to know.
Sourced via Vogue where there is the storyline written by Hamish Bowles and photographed by Francois Halard, mais bien sur. Now there is a melting pot of very talented gentlemen.
Oh c'est beaux x
Hassan Hajjaj
I fell in Love with Morocco when I went on holiday as a child to Tangiers, the mysterious and exotic fragrances filled my young senses, the colours , hustle and bustle, charming people and food stayed with me forever. I always have a soft spot for artisans from that region and one of these has caught my imagination.
A mix of Andy Warhol and North African sense of humour with streetstyle makes Hassan Hajjaj's work unique and wonderful. Born in Larache Morocco in the 60's and moved to London in the 1970's were he found his creativity of mixing his North African vibe with the western world.
Hassan has an incredible amount of talents photographer, artist , furniture designer, think recycled tables out of street signs, fashion and the list goes on.He has decorated Riad Yima in Marrakesh and the hilariously named Andy Wahloo in Paris owned by Mourad Mazouz of Momo's and Sketch in London who is a big supporter of unique talent and thanks to him I discovered Hassan's work.
If you are in London you can see one of Hassan's pieces in Harrods were at the moment there is a pop up exhibition called Inspiring Morocco or go to his studio in East London.
