Moralioglu shared his excitement of joining the list of H&M designers when stating “It’s such an honor to join the group of designers who have collaborated with H&M.”Erdem hopes to highlight the aesthetics of natural beauty. He states, “I’m fascinated with things that you can’t tell if they’re 50 years old or 100 years old or completely new”.
