On Saturday, April 26, 2025, at 7 p.m., the Moroccan Culinary Art Museum in Marrakech will host an extraordinary evening where the elegance of traditional fashion meets the sophistication of Moroccan gastronomy. In this magical setting tucked inside the old medina, guests will be treated to a sensory experience unlike any other—a fusion of style, heritage, and flavor.
Marrakech, a city of striking contrasts and vibrant tastes, is preparing for an event that promises to celebrate both the cultural richness of Moroccan fashion and the deep-rooted artistry of its cuisine. The evening opens with a rare exhibition of vintage caftans—textile treasures that quietly tell stories of a centuries-old sartorial legacy. Soon after, the event shifts into motion with a fashion show spotlighting caftans drawn from exclusive private collections, offering a fresh look at this iconic garment through the lens of heritage and craftsmanship.
The runway will then take a global turn, welcoming traditional designs from Azerbaijan. These unique pieces, crafted by emerging designers and curated by Nargis Magazine, a leading voice in Azerbaijani fashion and lifestyle, will bring a touch of the Caucasus to the Moroccan stage.
Contemporary Moroccan design will also shine, with standout collections from Wafaa Idrissi, whose bold interpretations of the caftan seamlessly blend ancestral techniques with modern flair. Designer Mina Binebine will present refined silhouettes that channel the essence of Moroccan artisanry, offering a minimalist yet deeply expressive take on femininity.
As this visual feast unfolds, guests will be serenaded by the delicate strains of Andalusian music, enhancing the immersive atmosphere. The evening will culminate in a sophisticated dinner cocktail, paying tribute to Moroccan culinary traditions. Each bite will echo the stories of regional heritage, generational transmission, and the enduring passion behind every dish.
The Moroccan Culinary Art Museum, nestled within the historic heart of Marrakech, is more than just an exhibition space. It stands as a living archive of the Kingdom’s gastronomic identity, housing ancient recipes, traditional tools, and the timeless rituals of hospitality. For one night, this unique venue will become the crossroads where fashion and cuisine—two of Morocco’s richest cultural expressions—meet and intertwine.
This event is brought to life by the Silk Road and Al Andalus Association, the driving force behind the Oriental Fashion Show and Morocco Fashion Week, reaffirming its mission to spotlight the diverse beauty and creativity of the East.
