Under his professional name, Leo Norma, he reimagines the Moroccan caftan, transforming it into bold, contemporary pieces infused with the timeless elegance of this ancestral garment.
When Nisrine Kasbaoui returned from the United States to Morocco, it was not just a move, but a return as a bearer of dreams and identity.
