YOUNG FASHION DESIGNER OF IUE CREATED DESIGNS FOR CABIN CREW

Eren reported that they received feedback from the cabin crew at the workshops held in order to meet the companies they would be designing for, and understand their wants and needs. Eren said, “I knew exactly what fabrics to use to solve their problems. We receive training not only on concept outfits but also on ready-to-wear, physical properties and characteristics of fabrics, and their uses. As soon as we identified the needs of the cabin crew, ideas were racing in my head already.” After the preparations were set, they entered into a 48-hour design and sewing marathon, said Eren and added that she was able to sleep for 3 hours only in total. “It was difficult and exhausting to design on specific needs on a limited time schedule. After we submitted our designs, real crew cabin put them on and displayed them in front of a jury. When they announced the results, I was extremely happy. The experience was unbelievable, said Eren.
