KARL MARX SAID ...

Karl Marx Said …
This title was not only used for Marx quotations silk screened on felt but also for a series of monochrome dresses in three different colors meant to handle these accessories. The final silhouettes was made only two weeks before the fashion show with the help of a professional fashion designer, Cem Cako according to my drawings, using the latest of a relatively thin 100 % felt fabric that had not even been officially released by the company. I did really fall in love with all these fabrics, the production process and the excitement to get some ideas translated from some simple scratch drawings to some tangible product and couldn’t refrain myself from producing even though I pushed me into deep debt because of the high costs of the partially very professional process. There were moments I had up to 20 people working on something and not everybody did so pro bono thought the list of helpers who did it simply because I could convince them with my ideas is very long since I myself am very helpless when it comes to manual work. As most of my works, this series too was marked by some label attached to it somehow.
