The kaftan of’Amina Boussayri is imperial, taking us into a world where tradition blends with a light touch of modernity. A happy harmony...
Hailing from a family where sewing reigns supreme, Amina Boussayri, originally from Meknes, developed a very early passion for kaftan, and it was alongside her mother that she cultivated and perfected this budding love.
After graduating from high school, she studied traditional dressmaking, then taught cutting techniques at the French Ministry of Youth and Sports.
But it was only a few years later that she really entered the world of traditional haute couture, opening her own workshop in Kénitra.
The modest boutique soon grew into a company, employing several people. A showroom soon opened in Rabat. Receiving orders from Morocco and abroad, Amina Boussayri quickly proved her worth and established herself as one of Morocco's leading fashion designers.
A fan of travel, particularly to Andalusia, she draws her inspiration for her collections from the heart of Spain, without ever neglecting her home town.
The stylist stays true to the traditional image of Moroccan kaftan in the cut, the choice of fabrics, and the trimmings she uses.
Dazzled by the work of Elie Saab and his particular blend of colors, she drew inspiration from it to create her own palette.
It's the colors and materials that give Amina the ideas for her creations, and a thousand textures and fabrics fuel her imagination.
"kaftan runs in my veins"she explains.
Today, this enthusiast is increasingly present on the international scene, particularly in Europe and the Middle East.
His caftans are like him: they are simple, modern, and vibrant with sensitivity and creativity.
