Tuğba Ergin’s fashion designs hit the catwalk

ISTANBUL

Participants to the Eurasian Economic Summit enjoyed a great catwalk presenting Turkish designer Tuğba Ergin’s works at the gala of the event on April 5. 

Istanbul Ready-Made Garment Exporters’ Association (IHKIB), a strong and long-term supporter of the summit, organized the event at Istanbul WOW Hotel. 

Ergin designs her collection for extraordinary, strong, environment-sensitive and refined women, and stands out with her innovative, experimentalist and wearable designs. The designer is inspired by all kinds of arts, natural materials, technology, and street cultures.

In 2000, Ergin completed a fashion design and marketing diploma program at La Salle Academy. In 2010, she created her own brand called Garden Of Denim Design (G.O.D.D.) and started to sell her designs at private boutiques in seven countries after participating in the Cph, Premium, Who’s Next and White exhibitions. 

After creating her TUBA ERGIN brand in 2013, she started to actively participate in Istanbul Fashion Week.
 
As one of the seven Turkish designers selected by Vogue Italy and Turkish Leather Brands, Ergin published her collections in L’UOMO VOGUE and VOGUE Italia.

The fashion shows have become a tradition for the summit. The shows were initially held with the counselling of Nuri Artok before continuing under the guidance of Süleyman Orakçıoğlu. Today, they are held with the contributions of Hikmet Tanrıverdi, the president of İHKİB, and his companions.
