GIGI HADID FRONTS NEW DILARA FINDIKOGLU X HEAVEN BY MARC JACOBS COLLECTION
Dilara Fındıkoğlu has collaborated with Heaven by Marc Jacobs to create a nostalgic collection that serves as both a tribute to her teenage years and a statement in the contemporary fashion world. Featuring slashed t-shirts, corsets, and plenty of leather, this collection presents a grunge-inspired vision deeply rooted in youthful rebellion.
In the campaign for this collaboration, Gigi Hadid showcases Dilara Fındıkoğlu’s designs inspired by her personal history through the lens of Alana O’Herlihy and styling of Danielle Emerson. Emerson adds a contemporary twist to the punk spirit of the collection, with the visuals emitting a sharp and edgy energy that perfectly captures its rebellious essence.
“When I was creating this collection, I had my high school years in mind where I was listening to Avril Lavigne, Runaways, Bikini Kill, Girlschool and trying to find my identity wearing metallic blue Marc Jacobs platforms, Gothic lolita dresses and band t-shirt. I wanted to create a skirt that is similar to my Topshop high school skirt that was so short to wear to school that my teacher called my mum to throw it away which she eventually did. The print on the corset is illustrated by talented Sophie McElligott, it’s a surreal interpretation of what would Marie Antoinette’s feast look like. This small wardrobe really is the dream wardrobe of my teenage self and I want them to be dream pieces of all girls now!” Fındıkoğlu explained in a statement.
As this collaboration hits the shelves, it turns into a dream come true for those who share Dilara’s rebellious spirit and love for unique, statement-making fashion.
