Vogue Turkey elevates the concept of a modern urban escape in its latest editorial feature, 24 hours spent at Tersane Istanbul, documenting a seamless transition from high-energy activity to sophisticated leisure. Captured with a sharp editorial eye by photographer Firat Arslan, the series leans into the interplay between the historic backdrop of Istanbul and contemporary luxury. Model Charlotte Nolting serves as the central figure, effortlessly anchoring the narrative as she navigates the vibrant blue padel courts and transitions into the opulent, dimly lit interiors of the venue. The visual storytelling utilizes natural light to emphasize the crisp, modern lines of athletic wear before pivoting toward the rich, cinematic warmth found in the lounge settings. Hair stylist Talat Kivrak complements these shifts, ensuring the styling feels cohesive yet distinct across settings, from the casual elegance of a white sweatshirt on the court to the bold, high-fashion impact of structured red tops, black pillbox hats, and statement gold jewelry. By layering textures—ranging from leopard-print upholstery to the gleam of metal serving dishes—the project creates a portrait of a lifestyle that is both curated and spontaneous. Under the editorial guidance of Editor-in-Chief Zeynep Akdoğan, this lifestyle feature successfully bridges the gap between traditional portraiture and a modern, immersive travel narrative, showcasing Tersane Istanbul as a destination defined by its vibrant energy and refined aesthetic.
