studies, she began her apprenticeship in the beginning, she was unaware that shoemaking due to its physically demanding nature, was considered more of a male domain. she encountered initial skepticism, but quickly managed to prove herself. i university eyes still off, so conceptual. she's very modern design. i'm coming in see a factory of victorian factory looking oh, to dish. no. wow. it constrictions. i've always had a passion for kraft. i'm to learn a price. i start to finish. all hon made a that's what really captured my imagination and, and made me fit as a is why my passion, really soft in 2019 a dell williamson experienced an early career highlight. when prince charles visited the company, it has been making bespoke shoes for him since 1989 and can officially call itself a purveyor to the court. and these shoes were really made by adel williamson for the air to the british throne meeting. prince charles was, was a huge honor. i was lucky enough to actually make a pyre of bespoke,

the trendy man about town and even pop stars. she also keeps the keen eye on where her fabrics are source for hurt. sustainability is the name of the game. the city of austin book is a fashion up. also for brave men. how teacher cook cheer creates are eccentric designs for them or breaking these codes is something i've always aimed for in my work room shaded. the turkish design made her debut in 2009 with a black crow collection featuring lots of black and leather. the crow is a creature, the people find somewhat for boating. that's the image she intended to establish herself in the fashion well says, how to cook. so she made the cro, the symbol of a label. the design studio is in his stumbles and is shown till she quarter when many of the created minds of turkeys up and coming, design the same as the show rooms washed out. it is welcome to my

design studio tonight. we're to lose fan. mm. how she could think he was in general, the fashion world was always only about women or men were confined to their socially dictated image locked into their dress code. and the colors are lines and accessories that reflect society's expectations of how a man should look bound. would they be out the whole he ultimately i wanted to change that to. yeah, there was a real void and no man's fashion designers at all. yeah, yolk to it was asking for them, so i feel how teach a group j has been working in the fashion industry for 22 years now. she's established her own brand with a knife. she says the 1st 10 years were tough. these days she's known in turkey as a pioneer of men's fashioned design. she studied at his temples prestigious, me must see none fine arts university, a creations of received him to national towards her designs include outfits for

musicians. for instance, the internationally famous turkish pup, stop talkin in her latest collection, newborn. another important credo, the designer is revealed. all the fabrics are made from sustainable materials. awareness of nature is increasingly coming to the fall, and i walk around in the pandemic has completely changed our lives before the pandemic. a real movement was already taking shape and fashion, and great steps were being taken towards more sustainability. but the pandemic greatly accelerated this movement of this is why we can say that now thought sustainable fashion is setting the agenda buffy. how did you cook jet? tries to preserve old traditions of fashion for a new born collection,

she often worked with hand woven fabrics made of wool known hair as ezra. the fabric is typical of se turkeys, batman province, the textile sex as prominent role in polluting the environment has prompted her create environmentally conscious designs. she often uses a material from a cycled acrylic fibers at the upper cycle logged on because one material is the, for example, ac recycle in mazin allowed on pick out if this fabric is made up entirely of recycled materials. so little that you can trace the resources back to their origin . are they good? and the fabric can be recycled over and over again. it take me some local in the order. i've been using this for a long time. now, when we use these materials, while we do our best to make sure there is as little waste as possible on it all, and with each and it in his long it in it appears. nowadays the look is no longer

whole. the count, design is like how did you cook j also look for the environmental friendliness of the fabrics and the creations, including the water consumption and carbon footprint. a new approach to men's fashion, an interplay of the contemporary and traditional and sustainable production methods . with this combination, how to cook jet is making a trailblazing walk on turkeys. fashion circles. the american artist clara celeste started her professional life as an arts administrator dealing with other artists. but soon she changed sides as it were. and meanwhile, now based in berlin, she exhibits her work around the world. her material of choice is simply paper, but she creates extraordinary collages that bring the viewer into a natural paradise. and there's also an environmental message in all her work. oh,

this nature collage is assembled from hundreds of paper images. the installation biodiversity celebrates a diversity of species. welcome to claire lasts blooming world. ah, i use actually paint, and then i would youth collage to plan my paintings. and then one day, i realize that the college that i made to plan the painting was actually much better than the painting itself. claire celeste to picks natural historical images of flora and fauna from all over the world. the american artist is based in berlin . from where she creates works like bio diversity attribute to nature, but also a warning. it was originally only about nature. but then when i realized just how many species in my art work are vanishing or have already vanished, it became impossible to ignore and has since become i think, the most important part of my artwork. claire celeste does not

want her creations to be seen as mere decoration. nevertheless, they should still be beautiful. her works are shown in international galleries, such as these canvas collages in sweden. this mural adorned department store and munich illustrations installations and glass sculptures are all part of her portfolio. the highest compliment that i can get from my artwork is when people get really quiet when they walk into the installation. and they actually look like they have a sense of wonder on their face. and that's, that's my favorite part of people interacting with my work. is that sort of initial moment of, of wonder ah, clarity last draws inspiration from places would lush vegetation like berlin's botanical garden. as a diplomat child,

she lived in many countries such as thailand, brazil, italy, and the united states, where she enjoyed nature's great diversity. the threat to nature makes her anxious . during quarantine, the 1st 2 or 3 weeks. i remember looking at my artwork and thinking that the planet doesn't need this at all. i think it's sometimes my glues, and the inks are perhaps not very environmentally friendly. and this is a question that i have, but i've recently decided that i'm going to continue making my art because i think it's really important as a vehicle for change in that i'm giving people a message of ecological urgency and ecological hope. or i'm trying to her art is based on old, naturalistic drawings of animals and plants mixed with present day photos. i like the idea as birds from 20300 years ago, co existing with contemporary ones. i like that there is sort of this seamless

timeline that's connecting the older drawings to the contemporary photography. at the start, she cut out suitable images for her collages. and in the process, she realized quite a few of the depicted species are extinct. nowadays, celeste uses online archives. she starts by composing her nature collages on the computer. then she prints them on recycled paper and cuts them out. ah, as she has done for her latest work, which is a kind of chandelier. claire celeste is still working on this hanging installation, which she plans to illuminate with a lamp. her original plan was to burn the work after its completion as a protest against the extinction of species. i think it's important to have a message of hope as well. we have the tools to make the changes that we need to to save ourselves and i, i want that to be part of the message as well. so perhaps i won't set this on fire

. instead, the flames are made of paper and can be attached to removed depending on the message. nature and claire celeste art is endangered, as well as beautiful. ah, there were that we come to the end of another edition of your o max filmed here on location in the german capital. just a quick reminder before we go, be sure to check out our website for this week's viewers draw. wherever you are in the world from all of us here in berlin, as always, thanks for tuning in, stay safe and we'll see you again soon. ah ah with
