Designer's story
As soon as I arrived in Marrakesh, a sense of peace washed over me. There's an unmistakable energy — and you instantly feel that there is something old and sacred about the surroundings. When I arrived at La Mamounia — a magnificent hotel that was once a palace — it did not take me long to find my first inspiration. There would be more revelations to come. The elaborate lanterns, door panels and old world architectural details led to the creation of three new collections you'll discover below.
What I experienced left me speechless, but I can tell my story by bringing back some of that beauty to share with you...
