Dilara Findikoglu

Known for its tailoring and provocative spirit, namesake label Dilara Fındıkoğlu quickly amassed a cult following and a spot on the LVMH shortlist following its 2017 launch. The brand’s Istanbul-born, London-based designer adds a punk mindset to her Central Saint Martins fashion education, deconstructing romantic feminine tropes in styles that foreground her sense of otherworldly mysticism. Corsets and lingerie are rendered in sensual satins and velvets, while Victorian elements merge with Turkish sensibilities to elevate sheer dresses and mesh tops into ambitious sculptural pieces. Blurring the line between fashion and artwork, Dilara Fındıkoğlu’s womenswear is as dramatic as it is liberating.
