World-renowned Turkish fashion designer Rabia Yalcin will present her latest collection of inspired creations at Couture Fashion Week in New York City.
The highly anticipated fashion show will be held on Monday, September 10, 2007 in the Roof Ballroom of the world-famous St. Regis Hotel.
The juxtaposition of Ms. Yalcin's traditional background and the sensual garments she creates from a mosaic of textiles builds an extraordinary bridge between East and West.
Influenced by her native country's history, Ms. Yalcin's collections are rooted in the opulence of the Ottoman rule, a time in which dress makers dedicated great time and care in creating lavish wardrobes.
Her clothes and handmade accessories showcase intricate embroidery and detail, inspired by this rich history, and are interwoven with modern fabric, fit for women.
Understanding the wishes of her longstanding clients, Rabia Yalcin customizes each garment to not only meet the needs of the event, but also to reflect their personalities and spirit.
“Fashion should not confine women, but rather nurture their individuality and enhance their unique beauty and spirit. What's most important to me is that the soul of my customer is reflected in the piece I design,” comments Rabia Yalcin.
Truly an artist of fashion, Ms. Yalcin sees the woman's body as her canvas, fabric as her paint and thread as her brush. Each Rabia Yalcin design is individually inspired by the multitude of emotions and experiences of every woman, an insight echoed in Rabia's personal motto, “My spirit inside reflects that of many.”
