With all 50 designer we worked closely on their approaches and they were all different and unique. Valentino took its identity and adorned it with Turkish romantic symbol, the tulips. Used to tulips facing that are just like two lovers chasing each other on the Bosphorus. Balmain channeled the renowned splendor of the finest Ottoman artisans, with Turkey’s rich heritage. At the end it all came together beautifully and displayed with a glorious exhibition design.

the Ottoman Culture, generating an incredible legacy to Turkish lands and around. These lands has been the center of luxury for thousands of years.
