FRAGMENTED UNITY
This thesis reinterprets Alevi cultural symbolism through contemporary womenswear, combining textile innovation with material storytelling. Inspired by the philosophy of unity, spirituality, and the human–nature–universe connection, the collection translates sacred motifs into modern silhouettes. Techniques such as string art embroidery and leather mosaic construction are used to create layered, tactile surfaces, transforming traditional symbols into a refined and contemporary design language.
