Provenance Istanbul, but she divides her time between Manhattan and Istanbul.
Show Dion Lee. "I've been wearing his pieces for a couple seasons now. The looks are really feminine but also strong and sharp. I find the designs powerful."
Outfit "My style can be experimental. It depends on how I'm feeling. The pants are Givenchy, and the turtleneck is Uniqlo. The shearling bag is Reed Krakoff, and the silver boots are Roger Vivier. The coat is also shearling, which I love — it really keeps you super warm, and I like the feeling and texture and the look as well. It's actually an amazing vintage find I got in Los Angeles. You wouldn't think you'd find a piece like this in L.A.!
"I'm a big vintage collector. I used to have a vintage boutique in Istanbul — it was very fancy and high-end — about eight years ago. I closed it, but I'm still collecting lots of stuff, both high-end and also random, casual stuff as well. I'm actually driving myself crazy with where to store it. Some of my stuff is in Manhattan Mini Storage. Some is in Brooklyn in Dumbo in storage. Some is in Istanbul. In the near future, I'm hoping to have a warehouse somewhere and put everything in a nice way."
