Thus, through the brand “Casablanca”, the Franco-Moroccan Charaf Tajer is part of the shortlist of the grand prize, which includes 20 labels from around the world, including the United Kingdom, South Africa and New York.
The Franco-Moroccan designer launched his brand in 2018, with “collections rich in bold prints, relaxed lines, flowing silks and sporty silhouettes”, for men’s clothing.
This label, which Tajer described to Vogue magazine in 2018 as “a French brand with a memory of Morocco”, is produced in France and Morocco. “Casablanca for me is always a word that sounds like a vacation,” added the 33-year-old designer, revealing that the brand name is a nod to the city in which his parents met.
