About Me

Hello, I’m Melek

I’m a creative designer with 15 years of experience in fashion, and I’m the founder and designer of Melekozel.co

My passion for fashion began during my high school years back then, the sketch work I presented to Converse caught the brand’s attention, and they sent me special gifts. Before starting university, I took my first professional steps at Hatemoğlu. I graduated with honours and first-class distinction from my Fashion Design degree. During my university years, I interned at Duman Textile, where I was part of the design team exporting to Fila.

Immediately after graduation, I continued my career at Eren Textile I then moved to Desa Leather, where I had the opportunity to work in a department exporting to prestigious brands such as Marks & Spencer, Debenhams, Givenchy, and Prada. After serving as Head Designer at Casca Della Spiga, I spent the longest and most rewarding period of my career at Konuk Textile for 9-10 years, I served as Design Director of a brand exporting to 33 countries, managing my own team.

I’ve experienced every aspect of the textile industry from A to Z: from design to production processes, from quality control to international markets. I proved my expertise once again by placing in the top 30 nationwide in the Lingerie Design Competition organised by TOBB Women Entrepreneurs Council and IHKIB.

Now, I’m living my biggest dream: designing freely from London with my own brand, creating what comes from within. Melekozel.co is a small business but one with big dreams. Every piece is carefully designed, carefully selected, and created to make women feel special.

If you’d like to be part of a small business’s big dreams, your support would mean the world to me.

With love,Melek
