NACKIYE

Başak & Defne Kocabiyikoğlu make clothes with a narrative tied to femininity and heritage. Nackiyé, named after their great-grandmother, is a series of stories tied to the women in their family. Belonging to a 14th century dervish sufi lodge, this long female family lineage entertained Ottoman bureaucrats, artisans and musicians. These storied elements are skillfully weaved within Nackiyé’s fine tailoring & seraglio couture details, revealing certain aesthetics of the dervish dress code with a contemporary humour. A backdrop of exquisite fabrics, bold proportions and hand-crafted three dimensional details create a unique allure.
