About me
I am a fashion designer, with a Fashion Design Master's Degree at Domus Academy in Milan. My master of education in Domus Academy, was awarded by Turkish Economy Ministry in conclusion of my degree in the Agean Exporters Union young fashion designers contest, which I participated and placed as a second winner.
I have more than three years experience in the fashion field. I had a career path that included ready to wear, haute couture, leather goods and accessories, in different companies and designers both in Milan and Istanbul. I believe fashion is a fast-paced environment which is ideal for my manners of business because I like working under pressure and quickly. I have a strong record of contributing to team projects and creating new collections.
My experience in fashion field, makes me uniquely qualified because I am a full time observer, which is a highly required characteristic feature for a fashion designer.
My main goal is to create collections that are easy to wear and adaptable to a person's daily life. I have always been amazed by designer pieces that has a unique language, a unique way of telling their own stories behind their amazing details. And I believe, my way of expressing a story through my designs, causes my collections to be much more out-standing when compared. My belief is that a person should be identified with what he or she's wearing and in terms of this notion, a strong connection should be created between the customer and the design itself.
