Amsterdam fashion designer Karim Adduchi has paid tribute to his Berber heritage by adapting traditional carpets into frayed and patterned garments. Adduchi sourced materials from his home country of Morocco to create his collection, which is titled She Knows Why the Caged Bird Sings.<\/p>\n

\"Berber<\/a><\/p>\n

The designer is of Berber descent \u2013 the group is indigenous to North Africa and is known internationally for its textile craftsmanship.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy intention with this collection was to pay homage to my culture 100 per cent,\u201d said the designer. \u201cPart of that was to bring the materials originally made by the tribes where I come from.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Berber<\/a><\/p>\n

Carpets, wool and leather \u2013 all associated with Moroccan craft \u2013 have been incorporated into the garments. Traditional Berber carpets date back to prehistoric times and were made by knotting natural fibres, while some contemporary industrial versions are woven from wool, nylon and plastic.<\/p>\n

\"Berber<\/a><\/p>\n

With his collection, Adduchi aimed to tell the story of Berber women like his mother and grandmother, who are often reclusive.<\/p>\n

Translated into clothing, the frayed edges of a black and red cape rise up around the head and partially cover the face. In a more extreme example, a cream and black striped jacket envelops the uppers arms, shoulders and head, with the wearer\u2019s identity obscured by the threads that meet down the middle of the front.<\/p>\n

\"Berber<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThe collection was a process of translating the symbolism and perception of these women, to give them a voice,\u201d he said. \u201cIt takes time and knowledge to unravel these women\u2019s looks.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
