KARIM ADDUCHI x Amsterdam Museum - Paris Fashion Week 2019

When Karim Adduchi moved to Barcelona at age five to join his father, he couldn’t speak a word of Spanish. Instead, the Moroccan designer expressed himself by drawing – and proved to be so talented at it, that he studied fine arts before obtaining a fashion degree at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam. His graduation collection drew on his Moroccan heritage; inspiration he continued to mine for his FW19 showcase, which he presented at Paris Fashion Week. “Morocco is an eclectic land that stimulates with its contradictions,” he says. “Its poetry of life, its history and heritage, and the joy of its people make it a place for me to feel part of this earth; to feel like I belong.”
