Casablanca presented their Spring/Summer 2025 collection at the Pavillon Cambon during Paris Fashion Week. This season Creative Director Charaf Tajer pays homage to the City of Angels and its striking iconography while models made their way around Lowrider cars down the runway. Tajer explores a sense of affinity between his own Moroccan-French working-class upbringing and the Mexican-American lived experience found in their love of artisanship, their pride and strength.

From SoCal to Venice Beach, the collection combines Mexican American counterculture with the local surf and skate scene. Freedom of body and soul is mirrored in dress, a sense of hand with crochet, knits, and embellishments, and a fitted form. Artworks reference skate decks and surfboards, with airbrushed motifs and sunbleached ombrés that relate back to the Lowrider, integrating these different aspects of Los Angeles.

Men’s tailoring took inspiration from iconic NBA Lakers coach Pat Riley who brought a new aesthtetic of dressing to the court’s sideline. Riley’s crisp tailoring appeals to the Pachucos and Pachucas, a group of well-dressed Mexican-American teenagers. Los Angeles, a vibrant and ever changing city that Charaf Tajer has lived and loved clearly has left a mark on him, which he re-evaluated, revised, and redesigned to leave a mark on Paris.
