Gökhan Yavaş Unveils Fall-Winter 2026-2027 Collection at Antalya Fashion Week

Fashion Designer Gökhan Yavaş unveiled his Fall-Winter 2026-2027 collection, titled “Armored Silence,” inspired by the layered serenity of Naejangsan Mountain in South Korea, with a striking runway show as part of Antalya Fashion Week.

The strongest armor is the world you quietly build for yourself... A world suspended between 1980s Istanbul and Seoul... A slow-moving, restrained, and uniform atmosphere... During the day, sharp lines and rigid forms envelop bodies like armor. People move forward, yet voices retreat. This armor is not meant for battle, but for survival. As darkness falls, the image begins to fracture. The screen flickers, colors distort, and reality starts to dissolve. The luminous, fluid, and vulnerable self hidden within rises to the surface—like a signal captured on an analog frequency, unheard by anyone yet capable of changing everything.

Fashion Designer and Creative Director Gökhan Yavaş draws inspiration for his Fall-Winter 2026-2027 collection from the layered tranquility of Naejangsan Mountain in South Korea. Architectural upper structures are balanced by layered elements that descend like mist from the mountain peak, reemerging as a language of quiet yet powerful resistance.

Presented during the 9th edition of Antalya Fashion Week at Hotel Su, the collection consists of 21 menswear and 6 womenswear looks. Speaking about the collection, Yavaş says: “While the matte textures used throughout the collection carry a sense of weight and pressure, reflective layers whisper the possibility of escape and freedom. The color palette—composed of Sakura pink, dried maple brown, forest khaki, and misty greys—evokes a faded memory: neither entirely vivid nor completely lost. The silhouettes are designed to gradually unravel, allowing rigid order to give way to something more personal.”

Blending the harsh and poetic qualities of nature with an unmistakably sensual 1980s spirit, the collection quietly reflects a journey between South Korea and Türkiye. It does not speak loudly; instead, it leaves behind a single sentiment: “The strongest armor is the world you quietly build for yourself.” Presented on June 2 as part of Antalya Fashion Week, the Gökhan Yavaş collection was realized under the Brand Direction of Alper Erbudak. The runway show was produced by Eda and Ehat Lekovic in collaboration with Emy Organization.
