Passion Points: Style
Istanbul Today Text Size A A A
Seamlessly melding ancient and traditional with contemporary and innovative, Istanbul is bursting with the compounded creativity of multiple millennia. Visitors—be they first-time or repeat guests—should defer to the experts when planning a trip, lest they risk becoming overwhelmed.
We reached out to some in-the-know Istanbulians, from designers and art consultants to long-time residents and entrepreneurs, to get advice and to pick up some inside tips.
Read the interviews with:
- Madeline Weinrib, a designer whose creations are featured at New York City’s ABC Home
- Isabella Icoz, an Istanbul-based art expert and consultant to private collectors
- Denise Spencer, founder of Ichiche, which carries beautiful Turkish jewelry (some of which is carried by Indagare’s Souk)
- Caroline Koc, designer of Haremlique, the ultimate source for luxury textiles.
