THE ‘TURKISH DESIGNERS’ SHOW NYFW F/W20

Under the simple moniker ‘Turkish Designers’, Asli Filinta, Deniz Berdan, Simay Bulba and Hakan Akkaya, each showed strong visions that truly asserted their rightful place in fashions is on the runways of NYFW at Spring Studios, Gallery II.

The show, held on Tuesday, February 11th @ 7:00 PM, was generously underwritten by the Turkish Government as well as the Turkish Textile Council.

Designer Asli Filinta showed a collection of easy, draped, tunic inspired ensembles that has a decidedly nomadic feel. The fabrications represented a mélange of colors and textures that seemed at times clashing and at other times harmonic, but always inspired.

Deniz Berdan, mother and daughter team, showcase a very sporty collection. Neon was a large component in the color story, whether it was featured in the linings of hoods or parts of the pants and jackets alike. For fun and intrigue, the designing duo created jewelry that mounted on the models’ faces, heads and even in their mouths to lend an other-worldly, almost alien intrigue.

Creative director, Simay Bulbul offered an easy, inventive take on traditional evening wear that was versatile enough to be worn both day and night. Sheer organza and Chantilly lace were the staples of this monochromatic collection that drew cheers from the crowd as it undoubtedly will with the retailers.

Hakan Akkaya, after his solo showing of his Amish Punk inspired collection a few days prior in NYFW, presented his capsule line of leather and furs in bright metallic hues. Each model walked the runway with full confidence and the audience was visibility excited and surprised to see this side of Hakan. Who traditionally shows only collection in black and white. Fun note… Hakan’s right hand Atelier Assistant, Hilal was one of his models, making her runway debut… fun!

The "Rise of the Pharaohs" is the latest installment in Temraza's SS 2017 Collection. With the designer's roots in Cairo, it's no wonder that the inspiration for this latest collection, came from Pharaohs and ancient Egyptians. This collection not only shows the authenticity of the Egyptian culture, but it also highlights their modernized aesthetic in the world of fashion. The colors from the collection are reminiscent of the ancient Pharaohs, yet the cuts, shape and movement are perfect for true fashionistas and fashion forward individuals. The collection not only gives homage to it's cultural roots, but more importantly, it symbolizes strength and femininity of women. Temraza is the first Egyptian brand to officially showcase their collection at NYFW. The visibility and excitement from the runway was echoed at the 2016 Primetime Emmy Awards, where a piece from the collection was featured on a celebrity for the red carpet gala. Fashion magazines alike are responding to the buzz and are featuring the brand in fashion editorials. Photo Credit Arun Nevader / Getty Images
