The Inside | I Got it from Morocco

Baby, where'd you get yo etching from?
Tell me where'd you get yo etching from?

I got it from Morocco

I got it from Morocco
I got it, got it, g-got it


How would I have articulated the inspiration behind these etched jewelry pieces if it weren't for the genius lyrics of will.i.am? A few years ago my close friend Newsha Ghaeli and I went to Morocco to attend the annual Gnaoua World Music Festival. Having never been, I was expecting a stronger European presence but was surprised and excited to find myself as a minority amidst North African travelers. Apart from enjoying the Gnaoua music itself, I was of course on a people watching frenzy. The local patterns and colours mimicked the rhythmic nature of the genre of music. Their street style was to die for, and everyone knows I looooove me some fancy pants
