| Leander's Tower. Istanbul, Turkey |
Hello everyone! This week I’m going to be talking about
Turkey’s Fashion Week in Istanbul. Turkey is quite an exotic place; it seems to
be a mixture of both eastern and western cultures in a way. Many Turkish
fashion designers tend to blend traditional wear with modern influences,
creating unique looks. One of the many designers is Günseli Türkay. Although she
is fairly new as a designer, she has been in the fashion industry for many
years. Her pieces at the Istanbul Fashion Week were definitely eye-catching due
to the architectural structures combined with reptile patterns. Here are a
couple pictures from her Autumn/Winter 2012-13 Collection:
Another well-known designer is Mehtap Elaidi. She prefers to
adapt to the current trends in her own distinctive way, rather than following
the majority. She likes experimenting and creating her own unique looks. That’s
what makes her an exceptional designer with extraordinary talent that she loves
experimenting with!
One more designer I would like to mention: Simay Bülbül. She
is another extraordinary designer with great talent! She’s known for
incorporating leather in her designs. For her Autumn/Winter collection, she
combined leather with fabrics like satin and silk to create elegant pieces. See
for yourself!
I hope you enjoyed the pictures as much as I did!
