How I started
As a fashion designer with over 10 years of experience working with leading fashion brands in Turkey, I bring a unique perspective to my designs that is shaped by my multicultural background - I’m half Turkish and half Italian. After completing my graduation project on the reflections of deconstructivist architecture in fashion, I began my career at Desa, one of Turkey’s leading leatherwear brands. Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work with various celebrities and have been involved in every aspect of the collection process, from research to the final photo shoot.
My Professional Experience and Values
I have experience in creating versatile and timeless pieces that reflect the sophistication and elegance of modern living, and have designed menswear and unisex collections with minimalist details and quality craftsmanship. My skills include graphic design, drawing, and staying up-to-date on industry innovations and new technologies. I particularly enjoy creating graphics and allover prints, and specialize in men’s wear and styling.
I believe in the importance of teamwork and collaboration and have experience working with manufacturers and communicating with teams in both Turkey and China. I am experienced in fabric and color palette selection and have visited trade shows and inspirational shops across Europe. My multi-dimensional experience also includes designing complementary accessories like jacrons, metal accessories, linings, and more.
Overall, I am a highly collaborative and creative-driven fashion designer who brings a unique perspective to every project I work on. Let’s work together to create stories for everyday life.
My Career Goals
My career goals include leaving a lasting mark in the fashion industry and providing exceptional customer experiences with innovative designs. Additionally, a mentoring role where I can discover and develop the talents of young designers is also important to me.
