Edzhe Dervish

Edzhe Dervish is a fashion designer of Turkish-Bulgarian origin, inspired by freedom, individuality, and feminine strength. She does not accept the imposed standards and believes that fashion is a tool for their rethinking and transformation. 

Through her designs, she explores the idea of personal and visual freedom, using corsets and stage costumes as modern armor that expresses identity, strength, and dissent. Inspired by Gothic, punk culture, feminism, Bulgarian traditions, and elements of Ottoman symbolism, which she reinterprets through a modern and conceptual lens. 

Women who have made significant contributions to science, art, and society have had a strong influence on her style and way of thinking. These are individuals who do not follow, but rather set the direction. Herdesigns are aimed at those who are not afraid to be different and express themselves through their clothing.

In 2023, she won first place in the IDEAMODA competition and third place at Zagreb Design Week (ZDW).
