Yazbukey has been created by two sisters: Yaz & Emel, ottoman princesses and Descendants of Mehmet Ali, Pasha King of Egypt. Yaz was born in Istanbul and Emel in Cairo. After living in different countries, they decided to settle down in Paris: Yaz studied Industrial & Graphic design,then pursued fashion studies at Studio Bercot. Emel has worked for three seasons at Christian Lacroix with Mrs Ortoli for textile prints. Then she studied at Studio Bercot, where she is teaching today.
After several internships at Martin Margiela, Martine Sitbon and Givenchy, Yaz collaborates with Jeremy Scott as his first assistant for two seasons.
After these experiences,they’ve decided to launch an accessory line focussing on beaded leather pieces. After a few collections the accessory line has been completed by clothes, essentially t shirsts & dresses, and then by shoes (yazbukey’s hot heels) and dog clothing (Yazbukey’s mini-dogs).
The world of Yazbukey describes a very playfull universe, inspired by old musicals (Vincent Minelli…) & Gershwin’s music, tales of La fontaine & Grimm, the movies from Hitchcock to Tim Burton.
