Stajinizi bitirdiginizde size buradan hediye verilmesi cok ama cok guzel bir sey. İste bu yumusacik hirkayi atolyesinde staj yaptigim tasarimci ve Gen Butik'in de kurucusu olan Figen Ozdenak'tan aldim. Benim icin gercekten cok onemli bir urun, cunku bunu tasarlayani, kalibini cikarani, kumasini keseni, dikeni, el isini yapani, utuleyeni, etiketini basani ve magazaya gonderen her bir kisiyi taniyorum. O yuzden bu hirka benim icin esittir 12 kisinin hatirasi demek. Burada sunu anladim ki tek bir sal ya da bluz, hirka yapacaksaniz bile bunun bir suru detayi ve zorlugu var; tasarlamakla baslayip magazaya gidene kadar... Cunku aslinda biz bir magazaya girdigimizde sadece bitmis kiyafetleri goruyoruz, arkasinda kac kisinin emegi oldugunu veya ustune kac bin kere batirilmis igne oldugunu bilmiyoruz. Bir tasarimci icin butun bu asamalar ne kadar stresli olsa da, bitmis urunu gordugunuzde, hayallerin soyutlugunu somutluga donusturdugunuzde, tasarladiginiz o kıyafeti elinize alip onu hissettiginizde, iste o an her sey bitiyor. İste sirf bunu hissetmek icin bile bu meslegi istedigime karar verdim.

 Tesekkur ederim Figen Özdenak ! 

It's just so nice to get a present when you finished your internship. I got this soft  sweater from the atelier of Figen Özdenak who is the fashion designer and the founder of Gen Butik. It's so special for me becauae that i know the people who designed it, made its pattetn, sewed it and sent it to shops. I learned lots of terms of sewing and the stages to create a garment. So this shirt equals 12 people for me. Also i really really figured out that there are lots of dificulties and details even if you produce just one shirt or a shawl. Because you just see a garment hanging when you entered a shop. But beside that, maybe tens maybe hundreds of people work just for one garment. (pattern making, cutting the garment, sewing, handstitch, ironing, labelling, sending to shops..) And in each stage, designer should check everything. Even though it's so stressfull, as a designer when you see the whole finished garment, watching that the dreams come true, also touching and feeling the garment should be a wonderful feeling. So that i decided to choose that job even just to feel that feeling. 

Thank you Figen Özdenak !
