Abstract:

At the beginning of the 20th century, Wearable Art, which can transform art into design objects or transform design object into works of art thanks to the influence of Avant-garde Art Movement, played an active role among designers and artists as a new style of representation. The notion of wearable art that reveals the relationship of textile products not only with the body but also with the soul has been made a current issue by the young artists in recent times. In this study, we dealt with the 3rd wearable art collection of Bashaques, named Entrada De Gala En El Haren (Gala’s Entrance into Harem). The question of “Can surrealism movement be adapted to the Ottoman miniature over Salvador Dali?” served as a motivational tool for Bashaques in creating this collection. We analysed the visual effects of the works created by the miniature artisan for this collection on traditional textile products such as clothes, Turkish takunya (clog) and quilt.
