Marrakech – The Moroccan caftan, embodying the finest in craftsmanship and elegance, recently took center stage at the Fashion Week in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan.
And what better way to spotlight this stunning piece of heritage than through the talent of the one and only Hind Berrada?
An ambassador of Moroccan culture, Hind Berrada isn’t your typical designer.

Hind is now changing the way the world views Moroccan fashion with her brand Regalia, bringing it to international runways in Canada, Japan, Saudi Arabia, and Paris.
