The Moroccan Caftan
Written by Administrator
The Moroccan caftan is an ensemble made of three separate embroidered pieces: The "Qmiss", an airy tunic that’s worn underneath the centerpiece, the caftan. The "Dfina" a transparent envelope that covers the whole ensemble. It’s believed that this traditional clothing has been probably inspired by the Greco-Roman drape.
Eyeliner or "KOHL" was first used in ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia not only as an essential tool for beauty but also as a protector from the EVIL EYE. It was made out of variety of materials such as copper gold, antimony or lead. However, the eyeliner had wait for the discovery of the tomb of KING TUT in 1920'S to be introduced to the western fashion.
On the 60's the magic tool was produced as an opaque liquid in a little bottle, and here the name of MARY QUANT is associated with this great invention.
Year after year kohl or khij as they like to call it in India changed texture start coming in many colors and different shapes. The face of make has changed thanks to Cleopatra's precious tool that comes in a powder or a gel today.

For those who are interested the word jeans comes from Genoa because the Genovese sailors used to wear denim pants in the 1500's before they become BLUE JEANS.
At the beginning, women jeans had the zippers on the side until Cooper Lee designed the revolutionary jeans and placed the zipper in the front just like men's jeans.
