ÖZGÜR MASUR: "ANATOLIA COLLECTION İS GIFT TO MY COUNTRY"

Özgür Masur describes this Anatolia collection as a gift to the country he calls home. Özgür Masur says, "This is my second signature collection, and throughout this journey, I sought to express my own identity. With Anatolia, I aimed to create a collection that pays tribute to the women of our nation and tells the stories concealed within these lands from a female perspective. Like every inhabitant of this region, I drew inspiration from our Republic while undertaking this endeavor. Consequently, it evolved into a narrative spanning not only a century but also a hundred unique pieces. Regardless of the circumstances, I remain committed to celebrating the strength of women, as the Republic fosters limitless, boundless, and unwavering thinking."

Choreographed and produced by Uğurhan Akdeniz, the fashion show featured styling work by Burak Sanuk. Ece Birsen crafted the make-up designs using Kryolan products. İbrahim Zengin, along with the No21 team, created the hair designs for the show.
