Phonetically, l'7TTA (7=H) is a popular Moroccan expression for trendy clothes. "Darreb L'7TTA!" You've found yourself a really chic outfit!

A hybrid creation of Anti-Fashion trends, displacing ball culture (second-hand clothing) into a showbiz universe.
The idea came to life in 2012 through an Anti-Fashion fashion show, presenting a universe that shifts image to societal values and proposes a re-evaluation of the notion of "ideal beauty".

7TTA is one of our most fashionable trends. 

The offbeat fashion show presents the collection in "clothing characters" adapted to stage situations, recalling characters from our collective memory: schoolteacher, primary school pupil, soccer player...L'7TTA's fantastic universe seeks to provoke feelings of nostalgia and pride with humor, while positioning itself radically by the standards of current trends.

In the beginning, L'7TTA was born from the collaboration of artists from different disciplines, working together to imagine a magical creation, a critical and mysterious universe designed by Mohamed Amine Ait Hammou.
