Eastpak Artist Studio 2016 - Inan Batman

Once again, 11 world-class fashion designers and 1 wildcard entry have been given “carte blanche” to transform a special “blank” Eastpak Padded Pak’r® into a unique work of art. Derived from the Anatolian word for “faith”, Inan is a young Berlin-based brand founded in 2013 by Inan Batman. Drawing on Inan’s extensive travels as a musician, the label combines a multitude of cultural concepts and design aspects. As such it also re ects the diversity of its place of birth, Berlin – the city that always becomes but never is. Inspired by the artist’s early life growing up in Germany as the son of Turkish guest workers, Inan’s creation recasts such essential urban and street tropes as the omnipresent hoodie.
