IZNIK SS27 🔵🔴 From kiln to catwalk.
I found five 16th-century Iznik tiles from Ottoman Turkey in The Metropolitan Museum of Art's open access collection, made in the kilns near Istanbul, the city where I live. I built a Recraft V4 Style from these tiles, then used it to design a couture collection directly inside the tiles: each dress grows out of the tile's own motifs, like the cobalt saz leaves, the coral red cloud bands, the tulips and the carnations. I then chained a second Style to turn each design into a 2026 luxury campaign photo, with the same cobalt and coral light running through all seven looks. Seven looks, one 450-year-old palette.
Thank you so much! 🙏 That coral red on cobalt was the heart of the whole collection. The Iznik potters were masters of color 450 years ago, and I just let their palette lead.

Elevator Looks | AI Fashion Reel 🔥
For this project, I wanted to reinterpret a familiar trend through my own styling and attention to detail.
Five distinct looks, one model, and a consistent setting. I developed the character’s appearance, curated the outfits, and worked on lighting and movement to give each look its own mood while keeping the film cohesive.
From reference preparation to AI generation and final editing, I handled the full creative process.
