I am an international fashion designer with eighteen years of experience, with my area of expertise creating jersey and knitwear collections. I also work on casual RTW for both men and women's brands. In 2010 I started my own niche fashion business ONDER OZKAN STUDIO, which continues to this day, focussing on niche knitwear. My philosophy for design is connected with the World Cultural Heritage of Anatolian Civilizations incorporating a unique contemporary style. I continue to present my collections at the Mercedes Benz Fashion week in Istanbul every year.

I started my fashion career at the age of twenty, while I was still a student at university. Between 2000 and 2010, I had the opportunity to intern and work in Turkey, England and the Far East Asian country of Bangladesh. During the ten-year period, I had the chance to create knitwear, denim clothing, women's and men's collections, create stories for brand segments, sample production, medium and high volume production, and carry out projects for luxury consumer products and experience them. Since I have an entrepreneurial character, I have worked in all areas of the fashion and textile industry except retail.
