Öykü Ece Uza - Fashion Designer & AI Creative
Öykü Ece Uza is a fashion designer and creative director. Her work is grounded in textile research, weaving techniques, and sustainable material systems, shaping collections, exhibitions, and collaborations across fashion and digital media.
Her work has shown at Fashion Week Istanbul, Dubai Expo 2020, and Contemporary Istanbul, and has appeared in Dazed, L'Officiel, and GQ. Designs she created have been worn by celebrities across magazines, music videos, and concerts.
She uses AI to explore digital prototyping, character systems, and narrative environments, expanding creative possibility without increasing material waste. She is the winner of the Yoona AI Fashion Design Award at Berlin Fashion Week, the first worldwide AI fashion design award, and was later invited to join its jury.
In mid-2024, she launched Delights as an extension of her research into rare textiles and cultural continuity. Across all her work, one belief holds: technology should refine craft, not replace it.
