View Larger Image and Additional Photos of Irina AkkayaAbout Irina Akkaya : A pasionate fashion designer, who likes to improve her skills in pattern innovation, whose style inspires other people. She wants to pass on her knowledge to passionate people. She is open-minded with focus on innovation and increasing human values.
Design is a way of express myself. Art makes me feel better. I create because I love to do something with my hands. When a project is finishet I am feeling very well because I realized something. I create values for others and for me and through art I know I can inspire the others. I succeeded in being a source of inspiration through my friends and I see that they want to improve more and more their skills. I think this is the essence of life, when you can create something and give the best of what you can to your friends and followers. If I do, if I create and deliver value, other people will do the same and so on; it is going to be a continuous network and people will increase their powers and put their/ our actions to create a better world. When I create garments, I do not look especially to the commercial part, I want to put all I can in my projects, because in this way innovation will spread. Of course I can put pieces for commercial line, taking small parts from the bigest projects. My motto is "Create constantly for a better world!"
