Mercedes Benz İstanbul Fashion Week for Spring Summer 2018 season is completed. One of the striking shows of the week was Çiğdem Akın’s catwalk. Not only awing the audience with the clothes, the designer created a show-like atmosphere for the visitors.
‘Invasion’ being the tile of the collection the pieces and music truly captured the audience. Flowing fabrics, asymmetric cuts and ruffled tulles moved along with the beats as models strutted down the catwalk with rapid and empowered steps.
“Yesterday was white. The sun was bright, sky was deep, winds were warm. Nature hadn’t yet bred billions of offsprings and hadn’t been contaminated,” is the description of the collection full of cream, beige and white colours along with oranges and light blues. The soft nature of the colours contrasted with the hard beats of the music. With black tulles here and there the Çiğdem Akın portrayed the contamination of pureness with colours and fabrics.
For the final, Maya Azucena performed a song “fearless” which truly identified with the attitude and mood of the show. Overall the contrast of the embellished and embroidered pieces with the strong walks and music created an empowered show!
