I saw a milkman, he took the money from the basket and put<br />
a bottle of milk in it. After so many years, I opened Boutique<br />
Faruk in front of the door of Opera Onur Bazaar where i had<br />
stood once."<br />
He passed the university entrance exam and started to study<br />
English Language Teaching at Marmara University although<br />
he could only say "help" when he was graduated from secondary<br />
school. He went on playing football as well. He played<br />
in the football clubs called Urfaspor, Tophane Tayfunspor Konya<br />
Ereğlispor and Adanaspor. He reached till Beşiktaş A Team.<br />
While he was playing in Karagumrukspor football club, he<br />
gave up playing football because of meniscus tear. He started<br />
to work in a fabric store belonging to a relative of him, then<br />
he met the fabrics that played an important role in his professional<br />
success and he learnt all of the features of fabrics. "To<br />
be a good designer, a person needs two important properties:<br />
to have a "good" eye and to have a "good" fingertip. I<br />
love fabrics as if they were my best friends and my colour chart<br />
is always with me. I know fabrics' language very well, when i<br />
touch fabrics they tell me what to do. To have a "good" eye<br />
means a talent that helps interpreting fabrics with a different<br />
viewpoint." he says.<br />
He came to Kadıköy with a paper in his hand to get the money<br />
of his relative from a tradesman. The destination was Kadıköy<br />
Opera Bazaar where he had looked at the cinema poster<br />
when he had first came to Istanbul. "Wait for checkout, I will<br />
work and pay your debt off." He said to the owner of the shop<br />
who was standing idle. "I really worked hard, everything went<br />
well, i started to pay all the debts off, i paid the last debts on<br />
an eve day and I brought the debts to an end. Then i bought a<br />
truck for the owner of the shop by the money that I saved up,<br />
he said me I had better own the shop, so I paid the key money<br />
and became the owner of the shop." he says.<br />
Then Faruk Saraç opened his first shop called "Boutique<br />
Faruk" in 1981 with the clothes that he had bought from<br />
abroad. One day, a woman came to his shop with her son,<br />
the boy said by insisting: "I want trademark clothes...". This<br />
reproach caused a dramatic changement in Faruk Saraç's life.<br />
Our designer gave all the clothes back in the evening of that<br />
day. Then a process started which leaded our designer to<br />
be a trademark with his own name just like Giorgia Armani,<br />
Christian Dior and Chanel. In 1987, he created the label "Faruk<br />
Saraç" in the form of signature with his own handwriting.<br />
From this date, he started to labour on his work till midnights.<br />
In 1991 he opened a shop in Swiss Hotel and another one in<br />
Nişantaşı. He started to sewing custom clothes which is called<br />
"Haute Couture" by bringing an iron from his home and employing<br />
a versed mechanic, on the offer of one of his clients<br />
who came to his shop with his own fabric and wanted Faruk<br />
to sew a dress for him. The burgundy-coloured suit that he<br />
