Wear Ease

The store that started it all.

Wear Ease was my first fully self-built fashion brand — from logo design and brand identity to product selection, photography direction, website build, and marketing. A streetwear label born in Cyprus, sold globally.

Collections included Tie Dye originals, graphic tees (Cash, City Life, Drawing Love, Mixtape series), cut & fit pieces, and accessories. Everything designed, curated, and operated solo.

This domain — wearease.co — now carries the story forward as a creative portfolio.

6DAYZ was a dual-concept creative venture combining a curated concept store with an in-house tattoo studio. Built and operated with creative partner Cihan, the brand fused fashion curation, outfit direction, and tattoo artistry under one roof.

From styling flatlay photography and brand identity to store design and client experience — every touchpoint was crafted in-house.
