Debora Szpilman and Nackiyé Stitch a New Chapter in Ankara

Oct 13

At the heart of Ankara’s Kavaklıdere district, Galeri Siyah Beyaz will host Nackiyé’s first custom embroidery atelier on October 22, 2025.

The invitation - seen above and illustrated by Debora Szpilman, brings together two distinct worlds: the clean restraint of Turkish minimalism and the lyrical confidence of Debora’s ink line.

Nackiyé

Known for handmade precision and family-rooted storytelling, the brand now turns its focus to custom embroidery—an intimate craft celebrated with champagne and a friends-and-family welcome.

Founded in 1984, Galeri Siyah Beyaz remains Ankara’s anchor for contemporary art.

Hosting the atelier within its walls signals a subtle merging of disciplines—fashion as art, illustration as experience.
