Top 10 Moroccan (fashion) bloggers you
absolutely need to follow
I do visit a
lot of blogs but only a few raise my attention. I can check out one or two
pages or either visit the WHOLE blog if I really do like it. I like a blog and
come back often visiting it for several reasons. Not because the bloggers have
the latest branded outfit, the most expensive clothes or accessories, the most
beautiful pictures or best designed blog. It can be simple and still remains in
my favorite blogs list. For me, it’s all about identity you create, the way you
interact with your readers, how you show your personality throughout an online
window. So let me present you a top 10
fashion & lifestyle Moroccan bloggers you need to follow, enjoy !
1)
You Are The Style :
The first time I ever came across a fashion related blog made in Morocco was
after watching this
awesome and moving video of Youssef (known as Joseph) Ouechen taking part on a
TedxCasablanca talk. His speech was so inspiring I decided to check out his
work and I immediately liked it : wonderful pictures, mainly Moroccan streetstyle
ones were all over his blog. Joseph also regularly collaborates with
prestigious publications such as New-York Magazine and L’Officiel as a
freelance photographer.
2)
Fashion Bakchic :
This is, for me the best current Moroccan fashion blog. I find out about Sofia
El Arabi’s blog while going through Joseph Ouechen’s work. Her whole blog is an
invitation to travel, full of beautiful pictures, she has an awesome and unique
style, mixing modern and traditional pieces. She created her own fashion line
named “Bakchic” last year sold at Galeries Lafayette Casablanca and now
available online, with unique pieces.
3)
Afaf and Marwa :
Afaf and Marwa are two Moroccan sisters living in Casablanca sharing with us
beauty tips and chic outfits on their common blog. A beautiful adventure which
lead them to create their own fashion clothing line, including awesome Mahmoud
Darwich t-shirts, white cotton and black quotes written in Arabic which makes
them so unique and original, but also wonderful clutches.
4)
Le Guide de la Maghribia
Actuelle : The Guide of the ‘Actual’ Maghribiya is a blog
run by a real ‘joutiya’ (thrift) addict, she shares with us her lucky finds and
is one of the few Moroccan bloggers using videos to make ‘hauls’. She also
often posts beauty and make-up reviews.
5)
La Couleur du
moment : Sofya is an architecture student sharing her
time between France and Morocco, sharing with us amazing outfits she wears on
the two banks of the Mediterranean sea.
6)
Mum
in Casa : Well, as you guessed this blog is
about a woman telling about her life as a mum in Casablanca, it’s more of a
lifestyle blog where Siham shares with us toughts on books she read or places
she visited.
7)
Ginger
Chocolate & Honey
: Well, how can I talk about Moroccan bloggers without mentioning the
amazing Lamia from Ginger Chocolate and Honey ? Her blog is a real city guide
of Agadir, she knows this beautiful city very well and shares with us the best
places and restaurants to visit while we’re here. Checking out her blog is a
must if you’re going to visit Agadir !
8)
Hipster Square :
Yasmine is a blogger from Marrakech, a
real shopaholic, sharing with her readers some awesome outfits.
9)
According to Hind :
In her blog, Hind shares with us “911 tips” such as “5 ways to detox your mind”
or “10 ways to be more creative” I find very interesting and useful. She also
posts lvogs on Youtube, book reviews or travel videos.
10) The Closeterie :
It’s a common project of both Joseph Ouechen from You Are The Style & Sofia El Arabi of
Fashion Bakchic : they go into Moroccan or people living in Morocco’s interiors
discussing their style and what influence them.
That’s all ! Did you know some of
these bloggers ? Who is your favorite ?
