Hassan Hajjaj:
VOGUE, The Arab Issue | Until 7 November
On a fashion shoot in Marrakech in the 1990s, Hassan Hajjaj was hit with a realisation. âAll these people were from Europe â stylists, photographers, fashion designers, makeup artists â using Morocco simply as a backdrop, which frustrated me but also made me think.â This is his response, a celebration of life in the Medina in which Moroccan creativity takes centre stage. Drawing on influences from handicrafts to hip hop, Hajjajâs unique portraits feature local people wearing traditional hijabs, caftans and other clothing with bold patterns and eye-popping colours.
