Jameel Prize 3: Dice Kayek

Turkish sisters Ece and Ayse Ege founded their fashion brand, Dice Kayek, in Paris in 1992. The brand reflects their Turkish origins, bridging East and West, the traditional and the modern, the luxurious and the sober. Now living and working between Istanbul and Paris, their couture pieces draw inspiration from Islamic architecture and crafts, elements of which they draw upon to create bold contemporary garments. They describe their early fascination with traditional textiles and offer an insight into their Jameel Prize-nominated collection ‘Istanbul Contrast’.
