Casablanca Travels to Paris With FW22 Collection
Celebrating the birthplace of creative director Charaf Tajer.
Casablanca has gone back to its roots for Fall/Winter 2022, celebrating the city of Paris with its new collection. The collection is titled “Le Monde Diplomatique,’ and pays tribute to the French capital — which is also the birthplace of creative director Charaf Tajer — through references to everything from luxury hotels and the golden age of travel to café chairs and the furniture of Pierre Jeanneret.
A stand out theme throughout the collection is the references to air travel, and particularly aviation prints in the French tricolor which adorn silk pieces, satin quilted outerwear and more. The travel theme continues with the use of pearl, crystal, sequin and beading that nods to the night sky seen from an airplane window. Elsewhere, blue and gold accents are a tribute to luxury Parisian hotels, while the wicker work of Jeanneret is recalled through wide-brimmed hats and accessories, along with an interwoven take on Casablanca’s signature monogram.
Rounding out the collection is the launch of the Atlantis, Casablanca’s first in-house sneaker. The Atlantis silhouette mixes references to both the ocean and the finish of classic sculpture.
