The Label
Launched in 1992, Kutoglu’s label stands for exotic, richly textured clothes with a Turkish flavor. That translates into lots of tunic necklines, genie pants, and spice-market colors. But there are always modern twists, such as the merging of luxe materials with funkier ones—leather with rich brocades, denim with mousseline and velvet. The designer, although born in Turkey, is based in Istanbul, and he has become a favorite among European royalty.
