Young designer Efe Batur unveiled his couture collection “La Nuit Rouge” with a mesmerizing fashion show held on October 21 at Karaköy Zülfaris. This special evening, merging Istanbul’s historic charm with the passionate energy of red, became a theatrical performance that will be talked about in the fashion world for a long time.

Where Fashion, Art, and Emotions Intersect

Blending the spirit of history with modern lines, “La Nuit Rouge” showcased the power, elegance, and inner transformation of women. The collection, consisting of 17 exclusive couture designs, offered dramatic elegance with black lace, velvet, and gold details, while the voluminous red skirt in the finale became the highlight of the evening.

The show was produced by Öner Evez, with creative direction by Yakup Biçer, hair design by Emre Ayaksız, makeup by MAC Cosmetics, and the cocktail organized by Pantheon Istanbul. The evening was hosted by Aysun Kaba.

“La Nuit Rouge”: A Theatrical Story of Power and Elegance

Experiencing the excitement of his very first runway show, Efe Batur explained the meaning of his collection:

“Seeing months of preparation transform into my own story in such a special venue like Zülfaris was indescribable. ‘La Nuit Rouge’ represents the power of red, passion, and the light within darkness. This collection tells the story of a woman’s inner transformation and rediscovery of her strength. For me, a fashion show is not merely a presentation of garments; it should emotionally immerse the audience. ‘La Nuit Rouge’ is a theatrical performance that unites the past with the present, and power with elegance.”

Şevval Şahin Shines on the Runway

One of the most talked-about names of the evening was the famous model Şevval Şahin. Wearing a striking red dress, Şahin captured all eyes on the runway and shared her feelings:

“La Nuit Rouge was not just a fashion show for me, it was an emotional experience. With the powerful and passionate energy of red, I felt as if I embodied another persona on stage. This collection reminded me of the fire within me. Fashion can sometimes be silent, sometimes like a flame… but it is always the art of being in harmony with yourself.”

In addition to Şevval Şahin, famous names such as Olimpia Ahenk, Buse İskenderoğlu, and Simay Rasimoğlu also walked the runway. Among the audience were Zeynep Mansur and many leading figures from the fashion world.
