Turkish Artist & Star Wears IFA Paris Istanbul Alumna Design

Posted on 13/03/2025

When the stage becomes a runway: IFA Paris alumni Ghada Abdulgasem, 2024 graduate from the Istanbul campus, created the stage outfit for Turkish singer Güneş for her latest performance. A collaboration that illustrates the dialogue between fashion and music and marks an important milestone in the journey of our young designer.


A creation for the stage

Ghada Abdulgasem, a 2024 Bachelor Fashion Design graduate of IFA Paris Istanbul, recently gained recognition when one of her creations was worn on stage by Turkish singer Güneş. For her latest performance, the singer wore a unique piece designed by our alumna as part of her graduation collection.

Chosen by stylist Bedirhan Taşçı, this skirt, envisionned by Ghada Abdulgasem, stands out for its fluid and contemporary design. Created to accompany the artist’s movements and capture the audience’s attention, the skirt features a carefully selected fabric. The fabric was specifically chosen to reflect the stage lights, creating reflections that enhance the visual impact of the performance.

Balancing aesthetics and functionality, the outfit perfectly illustrates the challenge of stage fashion: combining comfort, movement, and visual impact.
 

An OPPORTUNITY for a young creator

For Ghada Abdulgasem, seeing one of her creations showcased on stage by a renowned artist represents more than a simple opportunity; it’s a valuable professional springboard in her journey as a young designer. This exposure offers her an exceptional platform and validates her position in the industry, opening doors to other collaborations.

“It’s a huge honor to see my creation come to life on stage,” she shares, expressing her desire to continue exploring stage fashion and performance costume design.

At IFA Paris Istanbul, we support our students in realizing their ambitions and encourage them to assert themselves in the professional world. Seeing their creations selected by artists and showcased in the world of performance demonstrates the expertise they develop throughout their studies, a journey you could begin yourself at our Istanbul campus.
