The name Louhaichy carries strength. Passed down through generations, it traces back to Zina’s great-grandfather, nicknamed in his village outside of Kellaat Sraghna as wa7sh in Darija for his physical strength and speed. Stories say he once caught a gazelle with his bare hands, and that legacy lives on in Zina. When asked how she wishes to be perceived, she said, “as a Moroccan warrior princess.” 

From that moment, this series took shape. Together, we built a visual language rooted in her story; combining fashion, handwritten words, and family history to honour the power behind her and her name.

Welcome to the legend of Louhaichy.
