Fashion Design Graduate Creates Stage Look for Music Star

 

From School to Stage: An opportunity for a Young Designer

Recently graduated from the Bachelor Fashion Design at IFA Paris Istanbul, Celine Sara Sibu sees one of her first creations worn on stage by an artist. Designed as part of her graduation collection, the blouse was selected to be worn by Kardelen for her performance.

Trained at the conservatory, Kardelen is one of the rising voices of the Turkish music scene. A multi-instrumentalist with a passion for classical singing, she has been building a bold pop identity, expressed through both her sound and her visual universe. Each performance is an opportunity to reinforce her artistic vision, musically and stylistically.

In this spirit, she collaborated with Celine Sara Sibu, looking for a garment that could enhance her stage presence. The blouse, with its structured silhouette and carefully selected fabric, stood out for its ability to reflect light and heighten the visual impact of the show. Styled by Bedirhan Taşçı, the outfit illustrates a fine balance between aesthetics and functionality, where clothing becomes an extension of the performance.
 

A Promising First Step for a Young Graduate

For a young designer, seeing one of their pieces come to life on stage is both a rewarding and formative experience. Navigating technical constraints and creative ambitions, Celine Sara Sibu delivered a thoughtful design and demonstrated her potential, paving the way for future professional opportunities.

This collaboration marks an important milestone in her emerging career. It is not only the culmination of her academic journey but also a first real-world encounter with the artistic industry.

At IFA Paris, we support our students in turning their ambitions into reality. Collaborating with cultural professionals and showcasing their work in professional contexts is a key part of their learning experience. Celine Sara Sibu’s project is a great example of the connection between creation, education, and visibility.

Celine's story echoes the success of other IFA Paris graduates, whose graduation collection was also recently featured on stage.
