Hande Yener on STAR Gene & the future of circular fashion
Fashion is more than clothing. It’s a story that continues.
In an exclusive interview with Unsustainable Magazine, Turkish pop icon and STAR Gene founder Hande Yener shares her personal vision of circular fashion, creative freedom and the emotional value of archival clothing.
From unforgettable stage costumes to rare designer vintage, Hande reflects on the stories behind her personal wardrobe and why extraordinary pieces deserve more than one life. At the heart of STAR Gene lies a simple yet powerful philosophy: fashion should never be confined to the past. Through reinvention, restyling and individuality, every piece has the potential to become part of someone else’s story.
The conversation explores how sustainability and creativity can coexist, inviting us to rediscover the beauty, history and possibilities of what already exists.
