Bendriouich explained to Vogue that he first began designing clothes to attract girls and impress them with sketches of custom collections. “I was broke as a kid and couldn’t invite girls out,” he said.
An artist and designer, Bendriouich lives between Marrakech, Casablanca, and Berlin. Graduated from the fashion school Esmod of Tunis, the 30-year-old fashion icon distinguished by his unique style.
The winner of the 2009 Createurope prize, Bendriouich founded “Hmar ou Bikhir” (Dumb and Fine) with his friends. The T-shirt line earned notoriety through committed messages.
Bendriouich made a name for himself with an explosive mixture of eccentric, modern, but also Berber-inspired folk pieces.
A few years after “Hmar ou Bikhir,” the stylist created his own brand: Amine Bendriouich, Couture & Bullshit, a unisex and urban brand, for which he collaborates with renowned artists, such as stylist and photographer Hassan Hajjaj.
In January 2017, he won the OpenMyMed prize in Marseille, which supports young designers in the Mediterranean region.
When Bendriouich talks about his work, he describes it as an “insolent and nonchalant reflection on fashion and society.”
