Karasu, who displayed her collection of evening gowns, and bridals she designed, at the fair, said, “Quality, comfort, and design are very important for me. I create my designs with special fabrics from America, Italy, and Germany. The education I received at the University helped me create my designs. Thanks to that, I plan to work with major companies in Italy, Russia, and Azerbaijan. I met with many participants at the fair for prospective collaborations. My goal is to expand my brand with my unique designs both in Turkey and across Europe.” Prof. Dr. Elvan Özkavruk Adanır, Head of IUE Department of Fashion and Textile Design, stated that they made sure the students worked closely with the industry throughout their studies. The Professor said, “Getting in touch with representatives from the industry as they are still studying, brings in great advantages to our students when they are setting up their own businesses. With self-confidence and self-assurance, they have the necessary attributions and experience to create their own brands. Witnessing their success is a great source of happiness for us.”
