The Qaftan is not only traditional but also elegant, chic,exotic, and comfortable. Early jet-setters wore it in different corners of the world. Haute couture designers like the late Yves St. Laurent and Christian Dior introduced the qaftan into Western fashion.
As early as the 1950s, the qaftan and jellaba were translated into the “it” item suitable for glamour dressing, backyard party dresses, or casual house robes.
Fashion legend Yves St. Laurent (who was born in Algeria and lived out the second part of his life in Marrakech) made the qaftan an elite garment by putting finely patterned and embroidered versions on swank models.

But there isn't better than members of Moroccan Royal familly to introduce the qaftan to the world in state events and family weddings. Princess Lalla Salma, the wife of King Mohammed VI of Morocco, is the best example. A former class valedictorian with a degree in computer science, the princess is a pale, red-haired beauty who looks especially stunning presiding over formal royal evenings always in a Qaftan.
