To complete her collection, she named «Renaissance», Idrissi collected Louis d'Or adorning the caftans from old Moroccan and French families, which inherited them from their ancestors.

«I chose Renaissance as a name for my new collection as I tried throughout my new caftans to revive several kind of embroidery and traditional beading techniques that our great-great-grandmothers used to make», Fatima Zahra Filali Idrissi explains. «It took me more than a year of research in order to conceive this new creation», she added.
