EXEMPLAR

EXEMPLAR™ is a label founded by brother & sister, Erdi & Cansu Bal. Both graduates with a BA in interior architecture in 2017, they began working on an array of interior & architectural design projects. Having a real interest in fashion, they both become self-trained menswear & womenswear designers whilst still practicing in architecture. EXEMPLAR’S notion on fashion is rooted from an architectural standpoint. The designers view the individual's relationships with both fashion & architecture as being very much alike, as both of these disciplines provide us with protection, privacy, comfort & insulation, which is manifested through contrasting mediums. the garments EXEMPLAR™ create are extensions of the built environment around them. EXEMPLAR™ are emulating their learnings from architecture and are actualising it in the fashion realm.
