Born in Istanbul in 1981, Beril Gulcan is mostly known for her portrait photography yet is currently focused on hand-made collage. Amidst the lockdown of COVID-19 she founded Assemblage Studios and began to produce one-of-a-kind wearable pieces, featuring artworks that capture the zeitgeist of these weird times.  
 Each collection is curated around the themes and thoughts of a sensible mind. The first collection, titled Lockdown, expresses what we all collectively went through during this pandemic season and is designed in collaboration with Beril Gulcan’s analog collages.
 With a focus on sustainability in both sourcing and process, Assemblage specializes in unique and chic fabrics, currently printing T-shirts in 100% Supima Cotton and sweatshirts in 100% Cotton. Available in multiple sizes, unisex. 
 Looking to the future, Assemblage Studios hopes to create a community and collaborate with an ongoing curation of artists for upcoming collections. 
 "For us, it's all about merging the worlds of 'art' and quality fabric, together as one."
