Couture Fashion Week New York: Nedret Taciroglu (Turkey)

-
Last year during February and September 2011 fashion weeks, Nedret Tacuriglu's designs blew me away. I've been always a fan of the Turkish designers - [as much as I've been a fan of Turkish culture since the very first time I've actually met and befriended an exchange student from Istanbul back in 1998 while still in college - we were both part of a scholarship, sponsored by the International Cultural Service Program (ICSP)]. This girl taught me a lot about her homeland, and she taught me all the right things - so I learned earlier about the real country through the eyes of a beholder, not through some stereotypes...

They are also very attentive to the details of the designs. The handwork requires some serious close-ups, which you cannot really see from the photos, unless you look very, very closely...

The spring is almost here, which means - soon-to-be-packed and stored away winter boots are in much need to be replaced with the next sexy-thing on the shoe markets. And not just replaced with any shoes, but with the shoes that make a statement. That is - a  big city kind of statement. These should be the ultimate shoes for both a stylish day and night out on a city. Here's what I call statement shoes perfect for many reasons, including for the reasons appreciate a good piece of art, nature and sexiness in the details:
