UNITY IN ELEGANCE – DRESS by DILARA

Imagine a world where the lines between man and woman dissolve, not by erasing what makes them unique, but by celebrating what they create together. Like the merging colours in a sunset, their distinct shades blend into something infinitely more beautiful and profound. The elegance of strength and the grace of softness, woven side by side, form a harmony that transcends gender—a melody that’s richer for every note it holds.

Here, every person finds a place, not defined by a label but by a shared humanity—a reflection of all we are, and all we can be, better together.

This unique dress merges the best of two worlds: the cosy feel of a soft grey women’s turtleneck sweater and the casual charm of a men’s plaid shirt. The sweater forms the upper part of the dress, offering a chic, textured look with ribbed patterns that add a modern touch. Its high collar brings warmth and elegance, while the short sleeves of the plaid shirt peeking through add a hint of playfulness. The shirt portion cascades down, with the plaid fabric lending a casual, vintage vibe and button-down details for an effortless look. This upcycled creation is perfect for anyone who loves one-of-a-kind, eco-friendly fashion statements that are comfortable, stylish, and unique.
I wish I could explain the very essence of my production process. Starts with the donations coming from friends. Choosing from all these laces, doilies, ribbons, broken jewellery all around me is the joy of the day. Cutting them in to the pieces, putting them together again, sewing, knitting, hand stitching, putting the beads together, unsewing, liking or leaving the piece to another day, another psychology to finish. Creation is a long process but when I see the result, it is acknowledging the power in me. Find your strength, trust your inner voice, stand tall and start your new you with one of my products as a proof of new beginnings.
warm hand wash with the soft/ most gentle detergent.

Dilara Up-cycle Fashion

I didn’t realise it at that time, but I believe everything started with my granny. She not only loved the nature and life but also devoted herself to them. It took years to understand the wisdom of “Dilara never forget, the very purpose of life is not having a title or being rich. It is all about respect and preserve“ sentence. Years gave me the “engineer& accountant” titles. Became a wife and blessed with a fantastic son but none of them was me. I think wisdom is coming with age. I am not saying, I am one of these enlightened ones of course but at least I have the courage to explore myself now. I started to feel different about the concept of life. Suddenly felt respect to the environment and all the pieces in it, as a whole. Then I decided to protect them for my grand kids to come, like my grandmother did once for us. First, stopped buying everything I liked at the shops. Then got my own compost followed by worm farm after my own vegetable garden…. On top of all these, I decided to recycle anything and everything, even broken items in my home and learned how to make mosaic from youtube. I bought a sewing machine and learned how to use it from the scratch for fixing the thorn clothes instead of throwing them in to the bin. I just turned the wheel, it just kept going. At the end, my creative part of my brain kicked in, although I used my mathematic lobe all these years. You know what!… I enjoyed this side of me more… I started to walk on the way, the way appeared…
