I have been conferred the masters of textile degree of Faculty of Fine Arts, Mimar Sinan University in 1982. After completing my education, I have founded my own workshop and created various designs of myself.

My objective is creating a productive connection between cultures of today and the past and for keeping the vanishing cultures alive. In this context, I have selected the indian culture for a start. Their rapports with nature, searching for the cures of diseases in nature, the sincerity they have in their beliefs of God were the factors which influenced me most. For Indians, the reality is not letting bygones be bygones and leaving the worries of future to tomorrow and leaving the day and the moment.

PRODUCTION AND CONDUCTING

I can briefly summarize my previous work about this matter

1-Providing opportunities for the artist young people. I have been creating environments full of art, education and production by restoring the historical buildings which have been abandoned. I have been marketing the products of goverment+teacher+young talent trilogy abroad as volunteers. My entrepreneurships showed this was no easy task. Then I had to hire a building myself and restore it with my own endeavors. I organized courses for young people who have graduated from university free of charges and I had contributions to their development of designing skills. At the same time, I have emphasized on the art conceptual into textile and I am currently designing and producing Indian clothes and accessories as custom and in limited numbers. My designs include women and men’s wear, wall pictures and home textile as well. I also have limited production of boutique type wholesale. I offer job opportunities to young people with these works and teach tem my techniques. My objective is letting them observe all the processes of the creation of a collection.

2-The principal idea and concept of my project for abroad is to be partners with Turkish businessman. I want to create a brand (chains of boutiques) named ‘Indian’ and find a place for Tülin Ertürk brand in the world of fashion. At this point I require support from government and sponsors, because I do not have sufficient facilities and I do not have sufficient possibilities to exceed the stages of production and education. I need the assistance and helf from the government and investors. I produce a work of art. I need the assistance of an investor who would help me form a franchising system for sales of my products in a country where my works of art will be appreciated.

3-Your advises and recommendations in order for me to reach the people who may want to make partnerships with me are very welcome. I am a member of ITKIP. My enterprise is a limited company. My name is present in the ‘who is who’ books to be delivered to counsils which are going to be published this year in August. Exhibition of a collection of 20 items made up of Indian and Turkoman clothes in our consulates. (which would help the common concepts among two cultures be emphasized visually.)
