Asli Filinta Demir is an internationally acclaimed young Turkish designer who started out in NYC. Her work has been profoundly inspired by Anatolian Culture and the beating heart of her brand ‘Aslı Filinta’ is centred around social conscience.
While the fashion world is still in a hamster wheel, she has actually pressed the pause button to work on a solution by producing less, upcycle more and empower others. She has created a woman empowerment program to support disadvantaged women by giving them a purpose and work. It is these women who are behind the beautiful hand embroidered details and artisanal work on her clothing. After seeing how vulnerable the entire world is after the pandemic, she has been putting effort on raising awareness for social sustainability, to inspire others to consume more consciously and to believe in ‘Sharing the light’
