Biomorphic Couture
Sıla is a first generation Turkish immigrant whose work revolves around nature, biology, math, and textile sciences.
With a background in textile technology and bio-inspired renewable design, they typically work with fabric and soft goods, inspired by nature with sustainability in mind.
The theme of masks and headgear is a reflection on their muslim upbringing and hijabs— the very item that is supposed to hide you makes you more visible.
