À propos of Istanbul Fashion Week

Inspired by the Kanyon building and the cast iron latticework on the Galata bridge, Dice Kayek proposes through architectural silhouettes to bridge the gap between ancient and modern Istanbul.
Istanbul's famous 'Lale' (tulips) inspires both colour and form. 'Kubbe' or dome dress inspired by the city mosques.
Kayek draws inspiration from the mosaics of the Haghia Sophia to create intricate embroideries.
