Today's Inspiration | Moroccan Blues

Chefchaouen, Morocco | The Blue City.

Great read about Chefchaouen from an article by Lonely Planet

Chefchaouen's powder-blue buildings mirror the cloudless Moroccan sky - but religious rather than stylistic reasons are behind the design choice. Jewish teachings suggest that by dyeing thread with tekhelel (an ancient natural dye) and weaving it into prayer shawls, people would be reminded of God’s power. The memory of this tradition lives on in the regularly repainted blue buildings. - lonelyplanet.com

Chefchaouen - pronounced shef-sha-wen

"Some travelers describe the blue town as the most relaxing town in the entire country of Morocco." - Reversehomesickness blog

Fashion editorials and runway looks that are beautifully colored blue, they remind me of The Blue Town.
