Within THE CORE ISTANBUL, organized twice a year for the past four years as part of the collaboration between IFCO and MTD, original works by MTD member fashion designers are presented at one of Europe’s largest ready-to-wear fairs to buyers, professional visitors and industry representatives from around the world. Offering fashion designers an important opportunity to showcase their creative perspectives and original designs on an international platform, THE CORE ISTANBUL increases the visibility and reach of Turkish fashion design in global markets while also contributing to new collaborations and commercial connections between designers and international buyers.
