Sorry, I thought I found the documentary. Seems to be the wrong one. I´m very sorry.
--Previous Message-- : I have to confess I usually prefer 'less is : more', too, but that is in the end personal : taste. By the way, I actually would be : interessed to know what the german empress : though about her colleagues in Britain or : Russia. : Some times ago I´ve seen a documentary about : fashion. It reported about fashion makers in : Morroco and notably about the lady who : produces those robes. Not comparable to a : couturier a Paris. Much more a tailoress : with a studio, a manufacture with some women : sewing and embroidering. The robes are for : moroccian standards expensive and a status : symbol. And it was clear that Lalla Salma : could order whereever in the world she wants : but she decided to wear these very : traditonal robes. The key, the fitting has : to be larger than the western style, long : sleeves, long hem, the shoulder, everything : has to be rich. Patterns and colours have to : be appropriate to the status of the woman. : What I understand was that the robes for : Lalla Salma are quite a modern version. : She is the first 'First Lady' in Morrocco, : the first who is been made a princess, the : first wife of a morroccian king who is not : invisible. It´s not without controversy in : the country. And so I think it´s a wise : decision to take the people, the women where : they are. : : --Previous Message-- : Her caftans usually look like they have : jewels : sewn on, and woven with gold and silver. : Could these be real precious materials in : her garments?

Less is more: : the same jewels on plain uni coloured simple : gown suddenly brings all eyes to the : priceless jewels. : : --Previous Message-- : The juxtaposition of flowing red hair and : stunning jewels can be quite breathtaking : ...... : : : : : : : : : : : : : : --Previous Message-- : Wow...This rubi set is new to me. Lalla : Salma : wore a more plain rubi set when the King and : Queen of Spain visited Morocco some years : ago. : : Altough she is not regular news in this : board, Lalla Salma does have spectacular : jewels. She has them all: rubis, saphires, : diamonds, gold, coral, and I still remember : the egg size emeralds she wore in Thailand : for the Kings birthaday some years ago. : Absolutely fabulous! : : : : : --Previous Message-- : Nice rubis necklace for princess Salma and : nice diamonds earrings for Mrs Trierweiler, : the french president's girlfriend. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :
