These are my pictures from 2001.

 

 

Costume in modern Turkish style from SIM Moda Evi in Istanbul. And yes: the shoes are part of it, that's called "authentic"!

Another trophy from my last shopping trip to Istanbul.

From Gülseren in the Gran Basar

And this is how Cairo dances today - always cover your belly button nicely...
I bought this dress at Orienta 2000 from Isis Basar.
A fiery piece with lots of movement from Boutique Eva in Zürich.

Costumes in Oriental Tribal Style with my group WeiberWirbel.

The costume elemtents come from all over the Orient, from Morocco to Sri Lanka.

The costume is one of my long time favourites from Gülseren.

And somehow you just can't do without at least one costume from BELLA, Istanbul... Gruen

And here a picture with a very special feeling.

Pictures: Gion Jörg

And after working on the pictures with my Photoshop for some hours, they look like this...
