REBEL: 30 Years of London Fashion
Embroidered dress, Duchesse silk satin, Autumn/Winter 2008
*We might be in Hackney, but let's pretend we're in Paris!" - Erdem
Erdem lifted London's reputation as a fashion city in spring 2008. Suddenly, here was a voung upstart who was making evening wear which aspired to demi-couture luxury. I rebel in ruffles and lace, he remarked. He'd succeeded in doing this while working out of one room at the Centre for Fashion Enterprise in Mare Street in London's East End. The non-profit business incubator was the base from which he collaborated with friends he'd met at the Royal College of Art. Born in Montreal to a British mother and Turkish father, Erdem Moralioglu came London in 2001 to study a masters in fashion at the Royal College of Art on a Chevening Scholarship and a bursary from the British Fashion Council. His shows and store in Mayfair are a mainstay of London fashion.
