Fashion students imagined Izmir in fabrics. Izmir University of Economics, Faculty of Fine Arts and Design, Department of Fashion and Textile Design Senior students used waste fabrics and reflected the city on the fabrics within the scope of Applied Workshop in Fashion II.
Students imagined sea cost of Alaçatı famous for surfing, crowded streets of Kemeraltı, and Kordon coastline in fabrics at the “Doku(n)ma” titled workshop of Asst. Prof. Dr. Simge Esin Orhun led by Asst. Prof. Dr. Dilek Himam Er, Lecturer at IUE Department of Fashion and Textile Design.
‘From Story to Design’
Asst. Prof. Dr. Er gave information about the workshop and she said they wanted to draw attention to interactive exhibiting and interactive media design. She said, “We asked the students to express concepts of storytelling and metaphor by using fabric materials, and their starting point was identified as Izmir, the city they live in. Students had an entertaining workshop when they expressed the spaces associated with Izmir, their memories and experiences associated with these spaces through fabrics. Everyone has the ability to tell a story by nature. Our students were able to express their ability to tell a story with design language, and outcome was a very successful and very pleasant workshop.”
