How do you describe your style?
I can say that I meet at the point where all colors complement each other. “Risky, colorful and ambitious” might be the right description. I am someone who prioritizes dressing assertive and differentiation.
Who can you call an “icon” when it comes to style?
There are icons for me actually; one of them is Kate Moss and the other is Beyonce.
What are your favorite designers/brands?
I cannot limit myself to a single brand, so I can name a few: Bottega Veneta, Saint Laurent, Jacquemus, Iris Van Harpen, Balenciaga, Alexander Wang, Amina Muaddi and of course Declara! Every brand is a different spirit for me, I love diversity.
What do we encounter most when we open your closet?
Absolutely colorful pieces; jeans, colorful crops, colorful blazers, patterned suits…
Sneakers, 13,750 TL, SAINT LAURENT
What do you say you would never wear?
Actually not. I’m open to trying anything as long as I manage to match it.
Your must-have accessories?
Hoop earrings, gold necklaces, chain detailed jewelry and my earcuffs!
Hoop earrings, 369 TL, ACADEMIA,
What is the most precious piece of your closet?
My entire closet is very precious to me; I cannot distinguish. I love to combine them with each other so differently that there is a different atmosphere every time. But when we say precious, the products of my own brand “Declara” come to the fore.
Dress, 973 TL, DECLARA
What are you planning to buy from the new season?
There are so many things I plan to buy in the new season! Amina Muaddi new colorful heels, Loewe straw big bags, Bottega Loop orange bag, Jacquemus Robe Limao pink dress.
Straw bag, 10,750 TL, LOEWE
What do you think is the worst invention in fashion history?
I don’t want to highlight it as the worst in fashion history, but I’ve never warmed to Balenciaga’s crocs stilettos since I first saw it.
How is your beauty routine? What are your favorite products?
My beauty routine is one of the most important routines for me; I take great care of my skin care. My favorite products are Hydra-Essentiel SPF 15, Sauce Pure Mask, Sauce Hydra from Clarins. Apart from these, I use Darphin Intral Active Stabilizing Lotion and Drunk Elephant Multivitamin Eye Cream.
Which perfume do you use?
La Femme Prada.
