*Bright colors

Bouchikhi relied on fabrics of prints and floral intertwined with animal skin prints. The colors came strong and featured the orange and brown shades.

He also intertwined the fuchsia pink color with other strong colors, taking us back to the seventies.

Due to the collection depending mainly on prints color, it was important to address, if this look suited everybody or was it only for the slim.

Bouchikhi stated: "Everybody must choose the appropriate fabrics and patterns that suit their body, for example, if the wearer was chubby, then we try to move away from masses of print and pattern, and contrariwise, if a thin person tried the print and pattern, they will appear fatter,".

* Wide belt

The designer provided loose and wide cuts as well as relied on the wide belt that defines the beauty of a slim waist. The belt was created from the same fabric or leather of the African animal prints.

*Photo session

Bouchikhi was keen to present in distinguishing photos his first collection in 2021, thus he cooperated with Acharki studio, an outstanding team, to present a distinct photo session for the collection, which took place in Tangiers, Morocco.

The session also featured Maryam Bilal as model, and the hair and makeup was done by Zaina Khmissa.
