THE BOSPHOROUS

The Bosphorous fuses architectural archways, a striking mandala motif and intricate piping into a harmonious periwinkle blue tableau. The result is richly layered blue mosaic dresses, kaftans, swim and accessories.

Camilla Franks revisits her storied design legacy with the revival of two heritage prints from the iconic 2015 ‘My Wandering Heart’ collection. Inspired by the rich cultural tapestry of Istanbul and the opulent beauty of the Topkapi Palace, these beloved prints from the original Turkish collection make a triumphant return. Reimagined in entirely new silhouettes, the designs pay homage to their origins while charting an entirely fresh aesthetic path - celebrating the spirit of travel, wonder, and reinvention through rich embellishment and detail. Prepare to be transported to faraway lands, where history and imagination collide in signature CAMILLA fashion.

Behind-The-Print: The Bosphorous

Introducing an enthralling collection from global print house CAMILLA, inspired by Founder & Creative Director Camilla Franks’ travels through Türkiye. Join us as we embark on an ever-intriguing odyssey through bustling bazaars, Ottoman era palaces, mesmerising mosques, thermal springs, harems, heirlooms and hammams. From Cappadocia to Istanbul, Bodrum to Antalya, uncover an Anatolian dreamland of enchanting embroidery, intricate architecture, antique jewels, wild contemporary art and vintage textiles. Through antique markets and underground cities, we trace the stories of this country’s rich mix of inhabitants: artisans and aristocrats, Romani and rugmakers, singers, sultans, concubines and courtiers. A collection where handcrafted luxury meets storied artisanship. Made intentionally, made slowly, made with love.
