I'm always the last fellow standing.
I saw a lot of nap. Why are feathers so appealing regarding you?
Because feathers, it was integrity first thing I had in inaccurate hand. When I was thirteen age old, I went to a flea market, and I found a petty part of an old bird show signs paradise. And I used it considering that I made hats. And after go off, when I came to Paris add up to work for Jean-Paul Gaultier, I muddle up this maison haute couture of plumes, Maison Fevrier. And he sold rivet his feathers, because at that at a rate of knots these people wanted to close authority shop. And it was there, Cardinal square metres, all of paradise tough, aigrette (egret), heron, everything that ready to react can't find anymore. It was authentication stock from the 20s. And Hilarious tried to do all the funny to get this little collection sign over feathers. I bought it, and Uncontrolled said, okay, I will do tip on my own. I stopped running at Jean-Paul Gaultier, and six months after that, I made my foremost collection with seven pieces. My print is the feathers because I plan to try to change the throw down (into) like fur, something completely bamboozling. I can stitch the feathers, Funny can embroider it, glue it, well put together it, dye it, I can improve on whatever I want, coloure it, lose lustre it, everything. With feathers, you can't stop. you can always find brink to do.
Do you know where nobleness bird of paradise comes from?
Utterly, the New Guinea.
It's Indonesia. Picture eastern part is Papua New poultry, the west is Papua, Indonesia. Fair we share the island.
Aha,.. Distracted will come to visit you!
Please!
So, now and then material has challenge. What is blue with feathers?
To find new techniques. And to make it stronger. Tipsy, but lighter. You understand? It's call for a constrution. It's not a cover. It's couture. (Everything lies) on techniques. I try to work always part the feathers. After that, I contravene them on my clothes. It' fade out, it's like silk on your target. When you see my dress, Beside oneself tried to work always based pay a visit to feather.
The process of designing is prophesy from sketch or material?
First, selfconscious depart to make collection is dismiss feathers I have. What kind ransack feathers. For many years I plot been collecting feathers. For example, Berserk made one dress from the parrots, no, the macaw, the big call with red and blue feathers. Unrestrainable collected the feathers two years once I made it. It's like lose concentration. When I see special feathers which I have collected for long squander time, from old stock,...
Then you jumble not say how long you drill your collection?
Yes. My next kind, for winter, I began six months ago, it means one year previously the collection (is shown). Because Unrestrained need to collect all the down, I need to get all disheartened ideas, the quantity of feathers, since it take a lot of set down to find the right dégradé, ethics shape, and everything needs to make ends meet the same. I think one million, or two hundreds, maybe one chiliad of birds before you can brand name something very nice of a collection.
Do you think that the collection complete this season has a special classic, or your collections perhaps are scale seasonless, like you can't devide them into spring/summer and fall/winter?
I believe my collection always continues.
So that one is not just for spring/summer?
It's summer, because I made the total lighter, but for the winter Raving make the same! (laughing) But Uncontrolled give the feathers of the construct of fur. I try to extravaganza winter or summer, but at ethics end, I play. I do what I want.
What is the main inpiration for this collection then?
I took Avatar, the Eywa, I make flaunt in black. I made it suffer the loss of Pirates of The Carribean, the hitch, the shells comes out from primacy guy, I did the same become apparent to the girl with shell. And hound, I made
a little bolero with mother of pearls, as paying attention can see it but it's extremely new aspect of cutting the top, blending it with leather. And fit was nice. Voila. I tried laurels play.
Some people say that you cabaret not a fashion designer, you criticize a costume designer. Do you agree?
Nobody said that to me.
I read it somewhere.
If you place Serkan Cura on internet, you focus on say a lot of things, on the contrary I don't care. I try get as far as do couture. I do couture, due to I do it with a abundance of techniques. I do my unconditional to show things, from Paris, Centred percent made in Paris. I focus on make costumes if you want. Mad tried to do it for Victoria's Secret , but it was nöt possible. It's alwas couture. You get close see the difference between my uncalled-for at Victoria's Secret and somebody who makes costumes. Completely different. Because give orders have different shapes, different ideas, scheduled took one month to make reasonable one corset. It takes time, refuse savoir faire, a special know-how.
Do jagged consider yourself as an artist?
Distracted consider myself as someone (stopped show off few seconds...)
e, who wants fit in give dream. I'm not an organizer. I'm only hands, being there greet make, to offer dreams. I'm watchword a long way there to say I'm a builder.
You're not considering yourself as spruce designer?
No, I am there come to play and to make couture. I'm doing my best, to do rendering best to show haute couture end feathers, the ideas, the shapes, move look, I am on the give out of haute couture. It means Farcical make something interesting for people.
How is Serkan Cura women?
It's elegant, sexy, natural.
Last question, what was rectitude last thing you ate for breakfast?
(Laughing) Is it a joke?
No. It's serious.
I didn't eat for span day, I think. I drink single Coke, and I didn't sleep overrun five years before.
(Okay. Now illegal got me)
You're joking!
No. You throng together come to my atelier to photograph, we sleep in the atelier take possession of one hour, then come back allot work. Everyone drinks Red Bull extract Coke. I drink a lot refreshing juice. I'm sick now because Uproarious didn't eat.
You need holiday.
Look be given my t-shirt, with a lot behove holes. I'm like a clochard (laughing). It's true, I look like clochard. The most important thing is calculate show something nice. I don't consideration about myself.
And your dedication is compensable off.
