(Between us chatting, he\u2019s fielding congratulations on his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vogue.com\/fashion-shows\/spring-2026-ready-to-wear\/erdem\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">spring 2026 collection<\/a> every five minutes.) \u201cThere is, yes, the chronology of the thumbnails of every single collection I\u2019ve done. But the book is much more than that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Indeed it is. Just before the holidays last year, I had visited Moraliglu at his London atelier, where there were boards and boards of layouts and pages and ideas\u2014a sense of order finding its place amidst creative spontaneity. Erdem is, thank goodness, more than a repository of look book images and advertising campaigns, so often the curse of the contemporary designer monograph. I will always remember one colleague sniffing and declaring the glut of such dull unimaginative books as \u201cthe new scented candle\u201d\u2014i.e., omnipresent, inescapable, and something everyone has done.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Moralioglu has also gotten behind the camera to shoot his clothes images which are included in Erdem.
