WITH HIS PERFECT FRENCH...
THIS DEVOUT MUSLIM FROM MAURETANIA SHOWS AGAIN
HOW IMMIGRANTS STENGTHEN FRENCH TRADITION —
HERE, COUTURE
The colors are those of the Mauritanian flag.
Open to all culture, Fadel likes country music, a glass of wine on occasion and this is one of his workshop's walls:
Though the governing elite assured his clientele, Fadel chose France for its freedom. But couturiers paid little for his prototypes and lifted his ideas.
They still contact him but he usually refuses, preferring private clients who entrust him with delicate alterations or an outfit
to create from a drawing or photo.

Notice the tiny stitches.
He also creates his own collections.

Every detail is perfect, including the hand-embroidered logo.
It's in the background. I've had compliments, even in the street.
"It's as good as haute couture," I said.

Should he offer you perfumed tea
it is a gesture of hospitality, not commerce.
