High-end names like Hugo Boss and Balmain source their apparel from Turkey because of its balance between quality and production cost. Now, Turkish designers are beginning to take center stage.
Turkish brands are now growing in the country. Turkish designers are garnering attention not only locally but also on the international scene. Gul Agis, founder of the women's wear label Lug Von Siga, is in partnership with international retailers ranging from Moda Operandi to La Rinascente. Mehtap Elaidi, another Turkish designer taking over the Istanbul runway, and President of the Turkish Fashion Designers Association, is now known as Turkey’s Diane Von Fürstenberg.
Turkey exports its textiles to the United States, and mostly to European countries such as Germany, Russia, Italy, and Spain, among others.
Online fashion stores like Fashionyol.com offers overseas customers a convenient way to explore Turkish women’s fashion. Fashionyol , an Istanbul-based wholesale fashion store, has 7 years of experience in the business. Fashionyol serves up to 101 countries, including Arabian and African countries.
