Vogue Turkey

Jun 2025

Istanbul'un Kalbinde is a fashion editorial series for Vogue Turkey, shot on location by photographer Barbaros Cangurgel. The project explores the intersection of luxury fashion and historic urban environments, contrasting high-concept tailoring against the architectural heritage of Istanbul. Featuring model Ilana Hansen, the series leans into a clean, editorial aesthetic, relying primarily on natural light to emphasize the textures of contemporary apparel and classical stone surroundings. The styling, led by Idil Ekinil, blends vibrant patterns and structured silhouettes with candid elements of daily life, including transit stops and public squares. The imagery utilizes a chiaroscuro approach in portraiture alongside warm, bright outdoor compositions. The production team includes hair stylist Hamza Sara, makeup artist Batuhan Sara, and casting director Dilek Yener.
