Know ThySELF

Kicking off the SELF project is distinguished Japanese photographer Daido Moriyama, whose creative work will be displayed in a light installation accessible to the public in front of the Palais Royal garden.

Right now, we are living in a cultural moment that is so caught up with where we’re going that it’s easy to forget where the hell we even came from. SELF serves as a damn cool reminder that amidst all the flux and noise, it’s important to take a moment to acknowledge—and celebrate—all of the beautiful little pieces that make us who we are.

Total Recall

Born in the Moroccan town of Tétouan and educated in Paris, Khattabi’s upbringing required him to make sense of how the different influences surrounding him could align. In turn, his designs explore the embedded codes and history of his bicultural background. Total Recall addresses this phenomon by including garments meant to reflect adaptation and transformation. Skirts made of tire covers and motorcyle tarpaulins refashioned into dresses are scattered across the collection, conveying notions of displacement. Blending these elements adds an industrial touch to the pieces while still keeping a sense of movement.

From sweatpants infused with polka dots to nostaglic slogans and banner display, the ensembles symbolize hidden identities and memories. Giving us a glimpse into his own memories, Khattabi's work evokes affection for the past. It's a nod to the interconnectedness of culture and how we interact with its complexitites creatively.
