Great!

 

And Marrakesh is probably where Yves Saint Laurent got his inspiration. He lived there part of the year.
This was his stunning Marrakesh Moroccan Art Deco home, Villa Oasis in the Jardin Majorelle:




For anyone planning a visit to Morocco, here is more info on the entire complex, which also houses a Berber Museum:

It’s been on my bucket list forever and now I doubt I’ll ever go there-breaks my heart.

 

Same here. I also wanted to visit Tangier and the blue town of Chefchaouen.

 

You're right about Marrakesh being his inspiration for the serpent earrings, at least according to the online research I did before I listed them, but I was never able to find out when they were made....other than after 1966 when he first traveled to Morocco. I'm thinking they're probably from the 80s when big bold clip earrings were in fashion. Thank you for posting the pictures of his art deco home...the colors are amazing.

 

i wanna live there! Beyond gorgeous!

 

Yes, it is!
Chefchaouen was influenced by the culture of Moorish and Jewish refugees from Andalusia after the Spanish took back control of Southern Spain.
Tangier is another Andalusian city in northern Morocco.

 

I would love to visit Marrakesh! Thank you AJ and all for talking about this!

 

I had no idea- thanks for sharing. Truly beautiful!
