Entry Description

A modern Turkish fashion designer steeped into her rich cultural heritage by reinterpreting the lavish Ottoman textiles and silhouettes. This fashion collection evokes royal opulence with rich jewel tones, ornate patterns, lush embroidery designs, silks, and taffetas. Traditional Turkish motifs are reimagined with a modern twist by adding Swarovski beads. Voluminous cuts blend with sleek lines, while iconic pieces like embroidered vests, turban headpieces, and taffeta shalwar trousers are given an avant-garde, fashion-forward edge. These timeless aesthetics are transformed for today's woman.
