Satıcının Ölümü (Death of a Salesman)

2026 · Zorlu PSM Production · Costume Production Assistant

This modern production of Arthur Miller’s 1949 masterpiece, directed by the award-winning British director Rufus Norris, brings the socio-economic collapse of 1940s America and the disillusionment of the “American Dream” to the stage through rigorous period accuracy in costume design.

As Costume Production Assistant, my role was to help bridge Katrina Lindsay’s international design vision with Gül Sağer’s production execution, analyzing 1940s tailoring, managing period-specific fabric textures, and supervising the fabric distressing and patina processes that reflect each character’s psychological wear.

2023 · BKM Production · Costume Design Assistant

A highly dynamic, fast-paced comedy show for a large cast of child actors, where each sketch demanded distinct, character-driven visual storytelling. With full operational responsibility for the costume department, I designed and manufactured playful felt embellishments, custom aprons, and avant-garde pieces, including a specialized “flowerpot costume” integrated with stage props.

The Centennial Gala of the Republic of Türkiye

2023 · Koç Holding · Costume Design Assistant & Fabric Sourcing Specialist

For the historic gala hosted by Koç Holding to celebrate the Centennial of the Republic of Türkiye, an authentic 1920s dance performance was curated, Waltz, Charleston and period ballroom, tailored for high-mobility choreography.

My contribution centered on historical fabric curation: analyzing the weight, texture and movement of 1920s textiles so that fringe, beadwork and silhouettes could withstand rigorous dance routines under intense stage lighting, while managing the full pipeline between the design studio and master tailors.

A high-budget European co-production chronicling the 1994 sinking of the MS Estonia, the deadliest civil maritime disaster in European waters, demanding strict 1990s historical accuracy alongside highly technical wardrobe solutions for maritime, rescue and underwater sequences.

I undertook senior-level wardrobe coordination for the international cast, historical research into early-1990s European civilian and maritime attire, and oversaw specialized fabric distressing to realistically depict the trauma of a shipwreck.

About

Shaped by observation,
craftsmanship and collaboration.

Neslihan Orhan is a fashion stylist, production wardrobe specialist and fashion sourcing consultant based in Istanbul. From photography sets to fashion editorials, theatre productions, international television series and luxury fashion houses, my career has always been shaped by observation, craftsmanship and collaboration.

Working alongside photographers, costume departments, fashion editors and designers gave me a unique perspective on how style is built, not only through clothing, but through storytelling, culture and detail.

This experience eventually led me to develop a broader practice that combines personal styling, wardrobe consulting, production support and fashion sourcing for international clients in Turkey.
