Viewing the familiar from a new perspective has always been one of my themes. Here’s an example:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ten years ago I lived in Cologne. The city has a wealth of wonderful museums; however, the “Museum of Applied Arts” was not on my radar. Now, I wonder, how on earth could I have missed it. The architecture is phenomenal, the permanent collection exceptional. On display was “Istanbul Fashion”, an exhibit of Contemporary Fashion from the metropolis where Europe meets Asia.\u00a0 I was very fortunate that the textile conservator and curator of the exhibit gave me a phenomenal guided tour. Thanks again, E.<\/p>\n

“Istanbul Fashion” was quite surprising. I didn’t know what to expect, but was amazed by the variety, humor and uniqueness of the designs. It was also beautifully curated. Most of these designers are unknown to the west.<\/p>\n

It was an interesting combination of familiar and unfamiliar ideas. The ideas and concepts of Bahar Korcan, a designer I really liked, results in clothing wild, beautiful and playful. The image below is an example of her more conceptual work.<\/p>\n

The visit was a reminder of how important and refreshing it is to constantly question one’s perspective which includes one’s aesthetic and ideas.<\/p>\n

If the hats from Bahar Korcan are a bit too large for you to wear,\u00a0 there’s always my humble hat. Tutorial to come next week. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n

Enjoy your weekend.<\/p>\n
