04 2021, (25,5 x 35,8 cm), 224 pp. English text, numerous colour ills., hardcover ¶ This lavishly illustrated book provides an intriguing glimpse inside the luminous world of Fatma Altinba?, an anthropology professor and the creative mind behind the heritage jewellery brand Mevaris. Born into a family of gold merchants, she had the privilege of growing up with the Grand Bazaar, immersed in the wonderfully rich history of Istanbul. Her distinctive approach as an academically minded entrepreneur is to marry the city s legacy of impeccable craftsmanship with new and alluring contemporary designs. This book is a celebration of the magnificent city of Istanbul and this designer s relationship with her creative culture. From the floral motifs in Ottoman kaftans to the enduring Byzantine architectural marvels, the beautiful imagery traces the historical and contemporary influences that have shaped the unique artistic vision guiding Mevaris s exquisite jewellery creation. It offers unique aesthetic reinterpretations of Istanbul s heritage and its renowned Grand Bazaar through a celebration of past and present, and the colours and cultural wealth of the contemporary city.
