İstanbul Fashion Week - Rising of Cultural Capital

It was not a surprise to see the strong changing from Fashion lab to Fashion days and finally to Fashion Week. With the textile manufacturer background Turkiye is becoming powerfull in trademarking. In the last few years Turkish designers are attracting more attention from the universal business partnerships, brand stores and media foundations.This season, we had a...

chance to see most of the Fashion designers’ new collections for fall winter ’10. Instead of known names such as Bahar Korcan, Ozlem Suer, Arzu Kaprol and Hakan Yıldırım- Who has prepared another collection for brand “Koton” and also who will show us another collection in London Fashion Week- we also liked the shows of young designers.

Gamze Saracoglu’s collection was memorable with the unity of collection. We also liked Simay Bülbül, Zeynep Tosun, and Ozgur Masur- Who is the rising star of this year-

Projections were mostly in historical shades, but with a connection of modernism, with technical touches and origami influences. Natural Colours, Black, Grey and rich tones of Red and blue was strong.

We are excited to see the next Fashion Week of Istanbul but hope next time we have a chance to see more brand names of Turkiye in the fashion week . We were satisfied by the show of Mavi Jeans however there are so many brands which are so strong and rich in their designs and styles. It is a pity that we couldn’t show them to the clients from all around the world.
