The collection “Anatolian Civilizations”
reflects Erol Albayrak’s desire to examine the concept of fashion as transmitted by inhabitants of Anatolia. Albayrak envisions his collection as a passage through time: rooted in the kingdom of Hittites, influenced by ideas of beauty in Urartu, reflecting the sorrow of Troya, and drenched in the passions and mysteries of the Ottomans. These styles are being re-imagined in a “modern” or novel spirit.
“Anatolian Civilizations” is one collection in a series devoted to incorporate details from Ottoman Anatolian culture in contemporary fashion. His newest collection, “Mevlana and Prayer,” will be presented in ten Turkish cities and in ten cities abroad, including Rotterdam on 22-23 September 2007.
