Cem Cako

Çem Cako has a unique background: he studied Philosophy in LA, Sculpture in Stuttgart and Fashion in Antwerp. His approach to garment construction utilizes equal measures of these three disciplines.

First, Çem creates his patterns focusing on the fundamental/original form (construction before deconstruction) and following the rules of a sculpture, models each one out of clay. He then proceeds to build each garment using traditional tailoring together with innovative techniques for increased body support and efficiency of wear.
