Erdem

Born in Montreal to a Turkish father and British mother, Erdem Moralioglu graduated with an M.A from London’s Royal College of Art in 2003. His first womenswear collection debuted in 2005 and quickly gained recognition with its language of poetic and modern femininity. ERDEM has forged its own path in the industry, centering each collection around a forensically researched narrative and a belief in the power of craftsmanship. Collections are formed with a muse in mind, depicting previously untold stories of heroic women. ERDEM has received global recognition and industry accolades, including the 2010 inaugural British Fashion Council / Vogue Designer Fashion Fund Award and the 2014 BFC Womenswear Designer of the Year Award. The brand opened its flagship store in Mayfair in 2015. In 2020, Erdem was honoured with an MBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List for his contribution to the fashion industry.
