I don't know if you remember
Aladdin in One Thousand and One Nights
Aladdin is a teenager from Arabia
He doesn't just have a loyal monkey friend, Abu
It also has a magical flying carpet
They live a carefree and happy life in the middle of the city
Watch them rode freely in the heavens and the earth on a magic carpet
It's really envious
Today, Ah Xi will give you a plate of mysterious Arabia
There are also unique Moroccan carpets here
Mysterious Morocco
Morocco is a magical country in the northwest of the African continent with a rich history and rich culture. Moroccan carpets originated here, woven by the Berber tribal people in Morocco's Atlas Mountains.
Traditionally, Moroccan tribal weaving was done only by women and for personal use only. In winter, a thick carpet can not only be laid on the floor, but also serve as a mattress, seat cushion or even a blanket. Moroccan carpets are made from plants as dyes, and the raw materials are pure wool and camel hair at high altitudes, which can produce very thick fibers, so they are softer and warmer than ordinary carpets.
Old tribal style
Due to the lack of written language, ancient Berber weavers incorporated ancestral myths into their textiles using ancient images and symbols, wavy lines representing undulating sand dunes, and triangle and diamond motifs representing tents, stars, and more. In addition, weavers paint their stories on carpets, giving them complex emotional meanings. From the Atlas Mountains to the Sahara Desert, the style of Moroccan carpets varies according to the environment in which they live, with rich materials and rich areas weaving intricate and colorful fabrics, while carpets from dry and difficult regions are relatively simple and durable. The wool that has only been simply combed is hard and exposed, just like their tough and free souls.
Ingenious design
Moroccan style geometric patterns and bright colors is its unique charm, exquisite patterns, simple patterns but not simple, the pattern is refined, inducted, reconstructed, whether square, round or triangular, according to a certain law of combination is like a static combination of beautiful music, warm and romantic.
Moroccan carpets incorporate a variety of shades, using the uneven distribution of colors, the random variation of lines and the asymmetry of patterns, hand-woven to create abstract designs with different meanings. Unlike today's pompous and deliberate designs, the design of Moroccan carpets is full of rustic and mysterious beauty unique to classicism. Although it is not as precise as machining, it has a unique soul and personality. Whether it's a simple geometric design in light colors, colorful rag panels, or random graffiti patterns, each carpet records a world or a story, exuding charm from the inside out.
Bold and brilliant colors
In Berber culture, red symbolizes strength and protection, blue symbolizes wisdom, yellow represents eternity, and green represents peace. Traditional Moroccan dyes are mainly derived from local plants or minerals, such as tilian purple from shells and rich red from cochineal, as well as saffron, indigo, henna and so on, which are the color sources of Moroccan carpets.
Vivid and unique collocation
The Western world's fascination with Moroccan tribal carpets dates back to the mid-20th century, when designers employed bold geometric patterns and even bolder color schemes to complete interiors that matched form and function. Designers such as Alvar Aalto, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Le Corbusier used these rustic natural carpets to offset austere interior design. After years of integration, the current Moroccan style is full of rich Arab culture and Western modern art trends, Moroccan style homes are both modern and mysterious, and the use of Moroccan textiles in the space is both fashionable and unique.
By exploring the forms and colours of traditional Moroccan tapestries, designers can be inspired to use organic materials and natural elements in contemporary fashion to create a unique range of clothing and accessories. For example, combining the lines and emblem elements of Moroccan tapestries to design fringe bags and tall boots creates a rare visual appeal.
The respect and influence of contemporary Moroccan designers on traditional tapestries can be traced back to the early 50s, when a group of independent Moroccan artists and designers began to pay attention to the composition of colors, lines and patterns and applied them to contemporary fashion design.
Today, the appreciation of organic materials and natural elements has brought back the attention of traditional tapestry art. Through Moroccan invention and creative thinking, traditional tapestry art was modernized and entered the world market.
Emblems, patterns and lines are important elements of traditional tapestries, and their simple yet soft aesthetics make them beloved by modern designers. In recent years, designers have revolutionized this ancient practice with a wealth of patterns and colors, making it suitable for many modern fashions.
Ifrach only started his design career at the age of 28 (which was late in the fashion industry) and was once named Tel Aviv's most influential top designer. As early as his child, his father, who worked in museums, brought him into contact with many works of art and crafts that stimulate the imagination. He moved from a career as a ballerina to the fashion industry, having never studied fashion expertise before and was self-taught.
Vivid and unique collocation
Using all slow-moving goods and vintage textiles, free and tense design, Ifrach combines traditional Moroccan influences with contemporary art norms to create a fashion universe that is not constrained by design and art historical techniques, his work does not have clear gender and era labels, is experimental, interesting and fantastic, unique, full of feelings, with a strong national character and rich colors.
Embroidered tablecloths, woven tapestries, silks and delicate lace find new expression in Maison ARTC's fantastical works. No two pieces are the same. The garments are organically processed and do not need to be pre-drawn. "Sketching limits my freedom," Ifrach says, "not by design skills, but by creativity and intuition."
Contrary to fashion's penchant for novelty, Ifrach focuses on the old and transforms it, linking history and cultural context with extremely time-consuming artisanal craftsmanship, aspiring to create a future that values humanity, because "you can't replace imagination and skills with machines", and he firmly believes that "in the age of sustainable fashion, unique handmade products, vintage, culture and creativity are the future of luxury fashion".
Ifrach also advocates eliminating everything that distracts from viewing the work. Cover yourself and let the clothes speak for themselves. Masks and veils cover the model's head and face, and these avant-garde outfits are impossible to ignore. In the following set of beautiful African-themed costumes, he even wrapped the entire human body in costume, evoking reverie.
He blends craftsmanship and history into fine clothing, celebrating old textiles in a modern style to create fantastical and fun garments. His haute couture was exhibited during Paris Fashion Week and at the Victoria and Albert Museum. The following set of pieces is from the Maison ARTC AW 19 collection showcased at Arise Fashion Week 2019.
Abstract works have always been a source of inspiration in their creations. For fashion design, impactful line, shape and color elements can be extracted from these paintings, which can then be combined with practical applications to create a combination of sensibility and aesthetics. For example, in clothing design, this method can be used to create unique designs that can be preserved forever.
The collision of Moroccan flying carpets and fashion made me feel incredible! In fact, many of our creations in life are inspired by flying carpets, such as tassel bags; So what else do you know? Leave a message in the comment area
