This collection reflects a desire for far-flung places, somewhere between the East and the West?Destination Istanbul and the Golden Horn. Bosphore derives its opulence and the splendour of its sophisticated woven design from the mythical city, such as plant motifs inspired by Iznik tiles from Topkapi, an embroidered silk kaftan or a Byzantine ewer in chased metal. The shiny effect of linen is at its best here, and the openwork weave imparts a modern theatrical style without the folklore. Modernity is expressed by bold and clashing colours. Bosphore is opulent in velvet, bohemian chic in amethyst and reddish browns, and delicate in nutmeg and turquoise.
