Moroccan Stylez

In the end it just wasn’t feasible, the trip to Morocco did not happen. Time was the biggest constraint we had unfortunately so taking two days out (more or less) to travel to Morocco and back again wasnt on. It was a real pity as im sure my brother would have really enjoyed it but hey, there’s always next time! Of course next time the trip to Morocco will be a little better planned!

riads in fez morocco seem to be a popular attraction, im looking into the cost of riads in fez morocco but if anyone can help me out or let me know the general costing and paper work involved in purchasing riads in fez morocco or indeed any property I will happily share this information as concisely as possible here on the site. I might even dedicate a whole section to it as I believe its a little bewildering!

The Moroccan style of design is interesting in contrast to accepted European design. No human figures are included in the displays as its actually not allowed in Islamic religion, im going to check on this, so don’t quote me.

The whole aspect of their design is via symmetry and patterns, apparent in their building crafts, trades and art as well as fashion. It makes for some eye shattering displays of colour and repetition that I personally find quite intriguing.

Morocco design is influenced heavily by religion from what I could gather, not unlike Rome and the Vatican´s influence on the middle ages art.

I will be bringing more examples and Moroccan design styles as I come across them!

Clothes in Morocco are not exactly… trendy. Now that’s not to say they are not nice and fashionable, they just are not trendy.

God I wish I could describe this better…Robes… yes that’s the word, robes. Long and loose and hooded robes. Apparently in Morocco these are called djellaba (dec-hal-abba) and they are the traditional moroccan clothing for a Muslim country it seems. I bought two of them. You know why? I will tell you why, because when you got one on it rocks! Long and loose and dead comfortable, I basically havent wanted ot take mine off since I got home. I still however have not had the nerve to go into the street with one on… heres a photo of a typical djellaba.
