It took two years of planning and involved experts in history and fashion to create a collection of historical silk embroidered caftans and contemporary designs inspired by the region's history. The exhibition showcases collaborations with 50 international brands, each interpreting Anatolian references with their own unique style. Notable contributions include a Valentino pink maxi cape and gown by Pierpaolo Piccioli and a Turkish-inspired collection by Olivier Rousteing for Balmain.
