When you think about fashion, Marrakech / Marrakesh / Marrakesch (French / English / German) is not popping up on the list, right? Visiting the tanneries and the Souks and seeing all those wonderful handcrafted one-of-a-kind pieces of textile or leather will change your mind. And today, we visited another Marrakesh fashion highlight: the Yves Saint Lauren Museum. A $5 taxiride out of the Medina and you arrive in a quiet residential part of town where YSL used to have his studio after he discovered Morocco and fell in love with Marrakech. He spent a lot of time there, especially for inspiration purposes. The colors in Marrakech are different: loud, strong, bold, and the combinations are extremely brave, different and never seen before! Only a person with a strong character can wear those color combinations! And he, YSL made it work! Fascinating!!!

But not only his color combinations stood out, his attention to detail, haute couture techniques of the finest, gives you goosebumps!

The museum itself, finished in 2016, is a piece of art in itself.
