Frankly My Dear.....
Charaf Tajer launched his Casablanca clothing line in 2018, taking inspiration from his Parisian and Moroccan roots, with laid-back pieces in luxury materials. Casablanca started with menswear but has since expanded to womenswear, leather goods, jewelry, eyewear and footwear. The label gained traction with women in Los Angeles, worn by model-celebrities like Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner who helped to accelerate the brand's rise.
According to his BOF biography, Tajer grew up in Paris’s Tenth Arrondissement. Of Moroccan descent, he also spent time exploring the streets of Casablanca. The self-taught creative director and designer got his start co-founding and working at streetwear brand Pigalle and Paris nightlife hotspot Le Pompom, then with French collective Pain Au Chokolat, Off-White and Supreme.
Tajer was one of eight joint winners and finalists of 2020’s LVMH Prize. He was also a finalist for the International Woolmark Prize and Andam Grand Prize in 2021.
In this look, I have layered a green and white silk print Casablanca top and pant set under a Veronica Beard Miller Dickey jacket and grey cashmere dickey with my yellow Amina Muaddi Begum Slingback pumps. The Amina Muaddi shoes were featured with the same yellow Ralph Lauren US Open Sunglasses in a post here in 2023!
I accessorized this look with bracelets and earrings from Tiffany & Co an Apple Hermes Watch with a double wrap black leather strap and chain along with canvas tote bags from Crab & Creek.
Happy Spring!
