StudyFans Date : 26 Apr 23

Today Turkey occupies this position thanks to its popular markets and the large and diverse shopping centers in it.

Would you believe me if I told you that all of my life decisions were based on a movie or a novel I’ve read and influenced by its writer or hero? Certainly, there were some details in which I had to get down on the ground and make the right decision based on real data. However, the initial enthusiasm was thanks to the art.

Let’s go to the point and play this game together. You want some serious and rigorous information about studying Fashion Design in Turkey, which I will present in the next lines anyway. But before that, I will recommend to you some films that discuss this specialization in a wonderfully dramatic way.

The importance of Fashion Design, especially in cinema

The Devil Wears Prada movie

Meryl Streep starred in this movie; and till now, the most famous gif of her is used as she is looking down and up with contempt. The clothes and dresses in this movie were its hallmarks. Also, the idea of Andy "Anne Hathaway" being her assistant, to start wearing Chanel shoes, Prada, and a set of Hermès scarves to be on the same level as her manager who she despised on their first meeting that her disdainful looks in the famous gif were directed at Andy from the beginning!

Coco Before Chanel movie

Thanks to this movie, Audrey Tautou is still the best who starred in short black dresses. It wasn't only Audrey's hallmark, but her gleaming pearl necklace was also breathtaking when she wore it with any dress or suit. Throughout the movie, Audrey tries to rise in the world of fashion and withstand all the crises that she was exposed to throughout the movie.

Breakfast At Tiffany's movie

This movie is one of the top 20 fashion movies. In the early scenes of the film, Audrey Hepburn appears looking through Tiffany's store window. From the first moment of the film, you will be fascinated by the iconic pieces of jewelry, the black dresses, the delicate gloves, and the sexy hats. Personally, it is a movie that brings tranquility and happiness because of its distinctive colors.

Ready to Wear movie

There is no need to tell how amazing this movie is. It is enough to say that it was filmed during Paris Fashion Week in 1994. The advantage of the Ready to Wear movie is that it conveys the reality of that week like a purely documentary. It is one of the best movies that you have to watch if you are a fashion lover, or if you want to nurture your visual memory with some special pieces.

Personal Shopper movie

This movie tells a story of a girl who is a personal shopper of a famous model. She travels the world buying clothes and accessories inspired by Chanel at the Métiers d'Art Paris-Dallas show in 2013.

There is no need to explain the upsides of studying fashion design. It is enough to watch these films to see how much fun fashion designers have in their studies and work.

The art of fashion design is considered one of the applied arts that specializes in designing clothes until the last thread in the design.

The basic elements of fashion design

Forms of fashion: the exterior appearance of fashion, which appears from the outfit and expresses the final idea that the designer is trying to reach.
The colors used in the design: the colors that highlight the beauty of the design. It adds some magic touches.
Fabrics used in the design: It is the magic wand that enriches the design and puts it in a different place only if the correct fabrics are used.

History of fashion design in the world

Fashion design appeared at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Then came the Paris Fashion Week, where all the world's designers gather to display their art through fashion shows that take place during this week, and Charles Worth became famous for being the most famous fashion designer in Paris. He opened his gallery, and he distinguished at that time from other designers that he designed, tailored, and sewed by himself in one place. That’s why the ministers, princes, and princesses always go for him. Then, he became a magnet for students looking in the field of design and fashion.
