Hajjaj restages typically Western fashion shoots, but this time with Moroccan women posing proudly in his own creations – a mix of traditional djellabas, hijabs and kaftans with counterfeit high-fashion brand logos, leopard prints and polka dots. He thus invites viewers to re-examine the clichés and cultural stereotypes often present in the fashion industry.
