How does your cultural background or heritage play a role in your designs?
My Kurdish heritage shapes Balletshofer through the influence of my grandfather, who always wore suits yet valued freedom of movement. His balance of elegance and function inspired our philosophy of merging tailoring with sportswear. Old family photographs guide this fusion, translating heritage into our current view of the zeitgeist.
