A recap of the conference could be found in this episode of the Monocle on Design podcast.
Made in Turkiye:
The people seeking to preserve Turkey’s craft traditions at a time when doing so is more important than ever. And how other countries can learn from their example.
Designers and sisters Basak and Defne Kocabiyikoglu make clothes with a narrative tied to femininity and Turkish heritage. Nackiyé, named after their great-grandmother, is an ode to the women of their family, as well as the cultural legacy of the Eastern Mediterranean.
