What is your dressing style?
It’s pretty difficult to keep up with trends recently, but I take extra care of my shoes and jackets. For the rest of my clothing, I like to keep it simple. I’m not really a shirt person, but sometimes I like to wear a cool, slightly oversized shirt. Overall, I prefer to keep it simple match with dark colors.
What is the coolest piece in your wardrobe?
I have a first edition classic black Burberry jacket alongside a Lanvin winter coat. I think they both have a cool look!

Which neighborhood in Istanbul is your favorite one? Why?
To be honest, I have a soft spot for Maçka because I stayed in that area for a short period of time back in 2014. Overall, I enjoy the long Bosporus walk between Arnavutköy and Bebek.
What is your favorite place in the world? Why?
As much as I didn’t want to choose my hometown, I’m going to have to say London because it feels like a part of me whenever I leave and return. It’s a city where everyone is welcome to feel free and enjoy multicultural food and drinks, while meeting people from all around the world. London boasts great parks where, despite being in a bustling city, you can always find moments of peace and greenery. Unlike other major cities, London doesn’t feel overwhelmingly loud to me.
What was the coolest country, city or place to have the best fun ever? What did you do?
This question is crucial however, I could say I enjoy having a summer routine that includes a few of my favorite cities, such as Mykonos, St. Tropez, and Bodrum. Mykonos offers a great vibe for planning party days between venues and diving into various activities. St. Tropez is a classic destination with a vibrant atmosphere, and I have a few favorite venues I like to visit when I’m there. Bodrum feels like home, especially since many of my close friends visit at the same time, making it a familiar and comforting place.
