The Fashion Scout blog team caught up Zeynep Tosun as she prepared to showcase her third collection with Fashion Scout.
How are you feeling currently?
I’m excited, this is my third time now and
my team is great. I’ve got a great DJ supporting my show, an amazing London
based stylist called Tamara Cincik, and a collection of gorgeous models. I’m
feeling more professional this time, I’m feeling really comfortable.
What was your inspiration for this
collection?
This collection is like twenties meeting
sports chic. There’s a Turkish embroidery style. It’s all very clean for the
summer, you can wear it all day and all night- it’s comfortable. It’s also
strong.
Quite a lot of your collections seem to be
strong and empowering, is your aim for this season to help women feel empowered
again?
Yes, kind of, there is a way that it
empowers, but it is more naïve this time. There are flat shoes, comfortable
clothing- it is empowering for women and it is masculine but in a pretty and
naïve way.
Were there any elements you wanted to use
but it didn’t work?
There are always ideas you come up with but
can’t use, we select lots and have to choose between them all. This time I’m
not using prints, which is new for me. I didn’t need them this time. Things are
different this time.
