We had to be, you know, I would never wear something too sexy or too provocative.
It's very different from Europe.
But at the same time, in the 90s, for the first time, I was maybe 15 years old, we saw women wearing veil, but Iranian veil.
and wearing like the big gray and brown coat.
And it's absolutely not traditional in Morocco.
It's really something that was imported from Iran, from Saudi Arabia.
And my father was very shocked by that.
He hated that, how the conservative wanted to change Moroccan women.
Morocco is about color.
Women wear a lot of colors, which is absolutely beautiful.

It's not beautiful.
