Having a coke with you is even more fun than going to San Sebastian, Irún, Hendaye, Biarritz, Bayonne or being sick to my stomach on the Travesera de Gracia in Barcelona. Partly because in your orange shirt you look like a better happier St. Sebastian. Partly because of my love for you, partly because of your love for…

The Turkish Gypsy

  This is another video I posted not to long ago: A turkish gypsy or as the Turks call ‘Chingene’ (Çingene). From the back neighbourhoods of Constantinople  or most commonly known as Istanbul to an free hand drawn portrait. Inspired by the Turkish artist Remzi Tashkiran whom is an phenomenal artist in my opinion, portraying Turkish…

Who am you?.. who am I?

The question ‘who are you?’, I find to be offensive in many levels… though the question ‘who am I?’ is more on the emotional and personal side. How significant is the English language, a single word can change the whole perception and emotive of a sentence even though that single word has the same inclusive meaning.

Why Im Pursuing A Career in Fashion

I often get asked, ‘Why fashion?’ And every time I  reply, ‘Why not!?’ (Rhetorical, spotting the obvious).

So I guess I could say it runs in my blood, I was bound to be a fashion designer at birth.

My mother has a certificate in tailoring,…

The twentieth century; opening thedecade with the beginning of the Edwardian epoch, the introduction of the first black/white silent movie and Einstein’s theory of relativity.

Such as World War I, the Russian revolution, the tragedy of the ‘Unsinkable’ Titanic, the great…

Eat, Pray and love Arab Couture

The perception of our current society towards the etiquettes of the middle east revolves around with Muslim women dressed in Burqa’s/veils, living in harsh desert conditions and their deep connection to Islam. You’re probably thinking that Muslim people practicing Islam in the middle of nowhere are not even into Fashion. How is it possibly to be into fashion when their face or undergarment isn’t…
