Step into the powerful legacy of the Threads of Resistance collection and immerse yourself in the story of the fearless women who shaped the Turkish War of Independence. These women supported the resistance through intelligence and logistics, and also by commanding forces and leading movements that changed the course of history. Their fight was not only for the nation’s independence but for their own right to be recognized as equal participants in shaping the future.
Women like Kara Fatma (Fatma Seher Erden), who led an army of 700 soldiers, and Halide Edib Adıvar, whose powerful speeches and writings rallied the people, proved that their fearlessness. These heroines walked onto battlefields, stood at the front lines, and ensured their voices were heard in the formation of a new republic. Threads of Resistance seeks to bring their narratives to light, honoring their bold spirit and resilience.
The collection embodies this strength by merging the history of their fight with tradition women's handcraft from the region. These designs fuse women's handcrafts with bold, armor-like silhouettes, representing both the delicacy and power women carry within them. They remind us that women can be both delicate and powerful at the same time when called to be—and the creativity of women can be logic and artistic.
Threads of Resistance is a call to reclaim space, to stand boldly, and to carry forward the legacy of the women who refused to stand in the shadows. Wear it as a symbol of your own unstoppable force, as a reminder that history belongs to those who dare to shape it.
