The magazine article announces the opening of our shop, and gives a brief description of what can be found there and of Uğur's background, vision and goals as an accessories/clothing designer-artist. A particular emphasis is put on "fibre art", one of Uğur's favourite fields of interest in art and fashion, and how she creates "wearable art" borrowing heavily from this discipline. Her passion for organic paper and making use of this material in her various designs, and lastly her collection of around 5.000 pieces of Turkish lace are some of the other highlights of the article.

The newspaper clipping reads: “200-Year-Old Fabrics Brought to Life” – Retired physics teacher Uğur Daşkan designs modern clothing using the antique fabrics she has been collecting for 40 years, and her work attracts attention in Turkey as well as abroad. “The newest fabric I use in my designs is around 50-60 years old. I make accessories, clothes, hats and bags from the fabrics and laces that are 100-200 years old,” Daşkan says.
