EVERY THING...
All had begun seeing her little daugther drawing childish but meaningfull Fashion Figurines on paper…
(Explanation about the image above: Nilgun's drawings before Fashion Design Education:1971 and her desins after her finishing the school; Drawings For School Magazine:1974...)
Beeing a very far sighted woman,her mother, in spite of her old times, decided immediatly to send her daughter to study on what she had the talent.
After convincing the father ; relatives living abroad were told to find an appropiate school for Nilgun…In the end; a Fashion School is found in Paris.(Jeoffrin J.Byrs) … But first of all Nilgun had to learn French….Another investigation about language schools ; and another school were found to learn French Language.(Pensionnat Bon Séjour.Directed by Nuns.Versoix.Geneva.)
So were the first steps as Fashion Designer in her career path…Working as a Fashion Designer wouldn’t stop her willing to become an Artist Painter of Fashion...In the end :nothing stopped her to begin to paint her Fashion Figurines in every way at feminine sceneries as tableaus on canvases…Like : Barber Shop , Cafee&Pastry Shop, Hat Shop; Women at 5 O’clock Tea…Fashion Shows With Invited Peoples At The Tables etc...All the themes of her paintings were called by her "Miniatures Postmodern" since 1995...
