Morocco - Where to begin?!?
After all, it's not only the grandaddy of much inspiration, but also a Design Style that
has been insanely fashionable these past few years. My goal this time around is
to hopefully provide some new or renewed inspiration.
Ikats and Susanis will always be beautiful
but there is so, so much more to this incredible country.
So, let's start this journey with a little Hope and Crosby.....
