Özet:

In this paper, the suggestion of the Ottoman entelectualists ‘we should create a national fashion’ occured with the apprehension for new clothing habits gained after the Industrial Revolution is disscussed. The suggestions of ‘interpreting the tradition in fashion design’ and the comprehension of what is ‘traditional’, which are proposed by some academics and designers, are evaluated with a critical approach. The subject is examined within the frame of traditionalist suggestions offered from the time of the Ottomans till today, with the conceptions of the Western science, culture, art and design developed through the period of the Industrial Revolution
