Diva Exclusive: June 2014

This month Diva Magazine releases an exclusive issue celebrating its 11th anniversary. As one of the most read lifestyle magazines of society, Diva has many successful milestones. And on this exclusive issue, I am very honored to be photographing the VIP interviews.

The first interview was with Haluk Ozyavuz, the successful businessman with a very distinctive gourmet taste. We had the photo-shoot in his mansion along with magnificent sea-food specialties cooked by him. It was a great pleasure to meet him and his lovely family. Our second interview was with talented Mahru Gürel, the member of famous Gürel Family. Besides her very busy schedule, she took her time off for the photo-shoot we held in Swissotel. Her sincerity and attractiveness was one of a kind. I feel very lucky to know her. And our final interview was with Basar Karcioglu, the owner of Kar Construction Group. He was very warm and welcoming at the photo-shoot which took place in Kar Residence.

Once again, I would like to thank the Diva Magazine for providing me this unique opportunity of incredibly joyful experience in their exclusive issue. Diva Exclusive will be available in stores on June 20th.

On Fashion & Style with Stylicious

This week on Stylicious, I have an interview with Yosi Levi on style and fashion. I've never acclaimed myself as a fashion evangelist, yet prefer basic casual style for almost every occasion. On the other hand, accessories and shoes of certain brands have always been a special interest of mine. In that sense, I would like to thank Yosi for asking me the face of his spotlight column for this week.

Prada is my initial choice for tote bags and shoes, while Louis Vuitton for holdalls along with belts. Louis Vuitton taiga belts are usually what I prefer for both casual and business outfit choices. I believe I am a big fan of Hermes belts. Their double sided use and minimalistic design gives me the flexibility to match them with almost every outfit. When it comes to pants, Levis 501 and Diesel jeans are my top choices. In time, I figured out that the shape and cut of 501 exactly fits my figure along with variety of color options. Another accessory that I usually have on me is a watch. Cerrutti, Calvin Klein and Swatch Classic series are my favorite design brands in this category. Cesare Paciotti for smart casual, while New Balance for sporty occasions are my top choices for shoes.

I believe that fashion is what we make out of it. Finding out the best style for yourself is the secret to look at your best for all occasions.
