Hemline Indicator Going Up in Morocco
When hemlines go up, so does the market. Well, in Morocco, djellaba hemlines for both men and women have come way up in the past few years. From ankle-length, they have now come up to mid-calf length. But what’s been going up in Morocco is real estate prices!
With the worldwide economic slowdown, I imagine it will affect Morocco, even though it hasn’t yet done so very much. Tourists are still coming, and according to a friend I know who owns a travel agency, Europeans don’t seem to be cancelling their holidays to Morocco, at least not yet.
So, if and when the economic downturn hits Morocco, will hemlines come down again? We’ll see.

Hmm Morocco… is it ? Interesting place…
Seems like I have to got to take a look at Morocco now, with the world over hemlines falling… this has got me thinking!

Well, I just heard yesterday from my friend who owns a travel agency that Morocco reported tourism down for the most recent quarter (I don’t know how much). But my friend’s agency hasn’t seen a downturn yet.

Well, looks like I was way ahead of the fashion curve!
(er, cough, it’s actually because I’m tall, they were never quite long enough, lol)
