Marrakech Express


Giovanna Antonelli as Jade
1001 Nights.
Ali Baba.
Hijab.
Scarfs and turbans.

Quality, transparent, sparkling materials...

Siphon, silk, organdy, satin, muslin, hand sew on crystals...

For the real experience, you should go...

Ali Baba pants at Ralph Lauren, djellabas at Gucci, turbans everywhere from Dries Van Noten to Paul Smith—the Spring runways were as shimmering and vibrant as a Moroccan souk. And there were as many slouchy, sexy silk jumpsuits as there are stars in an Arabian night sky...
