GQ Turkey

Sep 2026

GQ Turkey brings a refined, maritime-inspired perspective to the fashion world with its latest editorial feature, Rowing Club. By capturing a sense of quiet introspection set against the iconic Istanbul waterfront, the project leans into a nostalgic aesthetic that feels both timely and timeless. Photographer Kadir Karademir utilizes warm, natural light to emphasize the rich textures of the season, specifically highlighting a structured brown wool blazer and intricate floral shirting worn by model Sasha Cortesi. This editorial project expertly balances lifestyle elements with high-end garment presentation, achieving a cinematic quality through deliberate composition and soft lighting techniques. The imagery, which features a live-action technique feel, is punctuated by elegant golden typography that anchors the central focus of each frame, elevating the overall visual narrative to something that reads as a modern ode to classic nautical leisure. The result is a series that captures the intersection of architectural heritage and contemporary personal style, proving that even a simple afternoon on the water can be transformed into a sophisticated editorial statement. Through careful attention to detail and color palette, Rowing Club successfully establishes a moody, earthy atmosphere that resonates deeply within the current fashion editorial landscape while maintaining the signature GQ Turkey polish that fans have come to expect from their high-production storytelling ventures.
