Feride is the creative head of Uslu Airlines, a cosmetics brand inspired by the world of air transportation, airports and journeys around the globe. Favored by the worlds leading make-up artists, Uslu Airlines today boasts prestigious collaborations with designers, stylists and other creatives from all over the world and is appreciated not only for its stateof-the-art colors, but also for the air(o)pack, a portable make up airbrush system. The Air Force 1 x Feride Uslu created in partnership for 1WORLD will release at Wood Wood, Berlin and selected other European retailers on April 11th 2009.
