Zeynep Kartal’s Spring Summer 2016 collection

 

Zeynep Kartal’s Spring Summer 2016 collection is inspired by a painting by James Tissot called Rue Royal.  The painting is a group of men, all very important aristocrats with a good sense of style and fashion.

Zeynep Kartal has reinterpreted this painting for her collection by eliminating its male dominance and celebrating today’s strong,
influential, independent and urban woman.

The collection is all about female strength and elegance.  Kartal’s Spring Summer 2016 collection featured angelically soft colours and flawless embodiment of ultimate feminine styles together with encrusting and minimalistic transparent designs across Freemasons’ Gallery.  Kartal’s collection used luxury fabrics such as silk crepe, embroidery, lace and georgette.
