Description
Blue Moonflower is born from a rare late-80s burnout velvet with lamé floral motifs, a textile once crafted in the tradition of European couture mills in Como and Lyon. During that period, these velvets were celebrated for their depth, softness, and the way their metallic florals shifted under light — shimmering in blue, indigo, and silver tones like petals unfolding at night.
Revived from an archival ceremonial ensemble discovered in Asilah, the fabric reveals a surface where velvet shadow meets luminous lamé — a quiet interplay between texture and light. In its new form, the piece becomes a sleek, contemporary silhouette.
The neckline is framed with traditional sfifa and hand-formed l‘aqad, subtle touches that honor Moroccan craftsmanship without overwhelming the design. Inside, the dress is fully doubled in smooth silk, allowing the garment to glide comfortably against the skin while preserving its sculptural clarity.
Short, modern, and luminous, Blue Moonflower blends heritage and contemporary refinement.
A nocturnal bloom reborn through SHAMS & KAMAR — where the moon speaks in blue light and a once-resting textile finds its new life
