The creators of Dice Kayek, renowned designers Ece and Ayse Ege's exhibition "Istanbul Contrast" will be held at İstanbul Modern on 26 August 2010 with the support of İstanbul 2010 Capital of Culture Agency.

This time in Istanbul, one of the world's most beautiful blends of past and present, Dice Kayek with its ‘Istanbul Contrast’ collection interprets the modern faces of this magnificent historical city from an opposite angle. The collection presents the contrast of these values through 26 different designs, each garment symbolizing a different vision of Istanbul.

The exhibition features silhouettes from the magical beauty of the Dolmabahçe Palace in a dress adorned with lace and the wrought iron of the Galata Bridge in a jacket entirely embroidered with metal scales. While “Dome”, “Dove”, “Turkish Delight”, “Topkapı”, “Tulip”, “Haghia Sofia”, “Caftan” and “Bosphorus” are few of the dresses we can encounter.

The “Istanbul Contrast” exhibition will take place during Istanbul Fashion Week 2010 at Istanbul Modern from 26 August till 19 September 2010. This event is organized by the governmental organization ITKIB (Istanbul Textile and Apparel Exporters' Associations) in collaboration with IMA (Istanbul Moda Academy) and with the support of Istanbul 2010 European Capital of Culture.
