Inspiration
My latest collection is inspired by my mother, who single-parented me my whole life. Her commute in high heels and standing for more than 24 hours in a male-dominated industry always showed me that, no matter what, she was the most powerful presence among them. I’ve embodied my vision of her in this collection with oversized shoulder silhouettes and broad hip structures that echo the classical male form. I’ve created powerful yet unrestrictive—and still sexy—looks that can transition from day to night, depending on how bold you feel. This collection might not be for everyone, because I don’t want these garments to carry the wearer; I want women to carry them with their own aura. My mother is multifaceted: one day she’s all dressed up and ultra-feminine, the next she’s in drapey, comfy pants and an oversized knit.
Materials
There might be different textures in the collection; this is because they were inspired by the garments my mom wore most often—such as poplin, cotton, and wool—as she preferred to keep things simple. However, there is one material that outshines the fabrics: walnut wood. Ever since we started living alone, she began collecting art pieces as a hobby. One of her most prized possessions is a wooden door that was taken from an Ottoman palace. That is one of the reasons I wanted to incorporate wood.
