In recent years, we see that many global and local brands have prepared special collections that offer a high vision thanks to their collaborations with the leading names of different design fields.. When our curiosity is brand-designer collaborations; We talked with leading designer Burçe Bekrek, who has a place in our hearts with her multi-functional and sophisticated collections, about her new season designs and her brand collaborations in the industrial field…

How will we see the Burçe Bekrek woman in the new season? What colors and forms will we meet in the winter season?
Burçe Bekrek: Our Fall/Winter 2015 collection is inspired by geometric geometry and generative design concepts. A collection featuring pattern games, handmade leather textures and multi-functional clothing options.. While designing this collection, we proceeded with the details that make up the DNA of the Burçe Bekrek brand and took our clues from the lives of BB women.. In our collection; We are talking about women who make the bow towards themselves, get their strength from within, dress for themselves, not for anyone else, make their life easier while being stylish, open to change, sophisticated and attractive.. In the collection, where we reinterpreted the classics such as the white shirt and the pinstripe suit, we wanted to draw a new attitude to the active and urban woman.. They mainly consist of multi-functional products and they change within themselves and create different clothing options.. Purple, navy blue, gray, anthracite and white dominate the collection, which has metal touches and contrasts with leather, which is difficult to work with.

You have realized a joint project with Deri Promotion Group this season. Can you talk about the content of the project?
B.B.:It was a project prepared for the Italy promotions of the Leather Promotion Group. With a group of 15 people, including shoes, accessories and clothing designers, we designed a look on the theme of this year’s advertising works of the Leather Promotion Group.. Tamer Yılmaz, one of Turkey’s leading fashion photographers, shot the product.. Styling was done by Mahizer Aytaş, one of Turkey’s undisputed best stylists.. The fact that the project takes place in Milan, the heart of fashion and includes the world-famous Duomo Cathedral, was a strong motivation for all of us.. Duomo Square, together with the cathedral of the same name, is the most visited by tourists in Milan; the place with the busiest crowd during the day. It is estimated that at least 210,000 people per day and 6 million per month see the advertisement on the cathedral.. This is a very good opportunity for a Turkish designer.. We also prove how well Turkish designers are in leather design and production.

The fact that your project is in Milan must be a meaningful detail for you.. What do you think about this subject?
B.B.: I was living in Milan when I studied at Istituto Marangoni. Yes, I am in Istanbul right now and I have a showroom that is going very well here; but one foot is always there. Half of my soul belongs there and it is my biggest dream to open a store there in the future.. After Marangoni and the brands I worked with on projects there at that time, this project was very good for me.. It made me feel like I was playing on that field again.

Will you be collaborating with other brands in the near future?
B.B.: We have a new Decor Towel series collaboration with Papia, which will be on the shelves in November.. In this project, besides my known fashion designer identity, you will also see my unknown illustrator side.. Integrating with Papia’s ‘Movement for Change’ campaign, we created a decorative towel series, in which we say we start the change with the objects we use the most during the day, and where we are invited to a colorful and enjoyable experience in every leaf.. change for me; it starts with discovery, awareness, new decisions and sometimes new ways.. That’s why Papia’s idea of ’4 Different Fashion Capitals’ got me so excited.. As a fashion designer, it has been a chance and pleasure for me to present something from my own field to a brand in the FMCG sector.. The Papia woman is stylized among historical and symbolic works identified with that city in the ‘Capitals of Fashion Towel Series’, where we pattern the iconic symbols of 4 fashion cities, namely Istanbul, Paris, Milan and New York, on paper towels.. In 2016, we will also be collaborating on a decoration project with one of the biggest brands in the furniture industry.. 2016 is a very busy year for me.
