Marrakech Has a Thriving Contemporary Design Scene—Here’s Where to Find It | Vogue
"Behind the walls of the rose-hued riad, I discovered Hassan Hajjaj’s boutique and art gallery, Riad Yima, tucked away in a quiet alley in the heart of Marrakech’s 12th-century medina. The space is a realm of pop-art colors and contemporary photography: a myriad of traditional clothing printed with designer logos and Arabic script, shelves filled with colorful tea tins, and countless objects all designed by Hajjaj that beautifully capture his distinct visual style—the same style that helped propel him to international stardom and earn him the title of the Andy Warhol of Marrakech. I experienced the place as part of an immersive trip he helped curate, even taking part in a photo shoot there where everyone in our group was clad in Hajjaj-designed clothing in front of his camera." - Dobrina Zhekova
