Turkish designer displays fashions at Louvre

Turkish-French designer Ece Ege has revealed her latest collection, Woven Tales, at the Paris Fashion Week.

The creative director of Dice Kayek, the fashion house she founded with her sister Ay?e in 1992, showed off their spring 2016 collection at the Musée des Arts Decoratifs, based in the Louvre.

Ege said she wanted her collection to resemble an image in the mind and said it had been inspired by characters such as Peter Pan.

She said the collection was the result of six months of hard work as her team of 20 produced a couture collection in wool flannel, organza silk mikado, sateen and velvet.      

Dice Kayek, a member of the Prêt-à-Porter and Couture Federation, is the first Turkish brand to take part in Paris' official couture show.

Ege, who was trained in Paris, received France's prestigious Femme en Or award for successful women in 2003.Thousands bid farewell to leading businessman Mustafa Koç at funeral in IstanbulIn Photos: Tanks roll through Cizre's ruined streets as operations continuePhotographer presents Istanbul's streets, bazaars in curves with 'Flatland'In photos: Turkey commemorates Rumi with 'Night of Union' ceremony in KonyaIn Photos: Ta?yaran Valley in Aegean region to become nature parkPictures released by the Armed Forces depict destruction in southeastern Sur amid clashes, curfewIn Photos: Marks of violence visible across Nusaybin after lifting of curfewIn Photos: Turkey celebrates Christmas Eve with services In Photos: Turkey provides assistance in rare UN-backed swap dealHürriyet's Sebati Karakurt photographs Diyarbak?r's Sur amid curfew and clashesIn Photos: Istanbul welcomes 2016 covered in snowIn Photos: Cities across the world celebrate New YearIn Photos: Snow produces picturesque scenes across...
