Sunny day at the Maçka Teleferik

At Emek Sineması on windy morning

These fun characters are actually two new members of our street team. Both are wearing second-hand coats, Zeynep's jacket is from Bulgaria and Eflan's is from stolen from her sister.

Near Dogzstar, behind Ara Café

At the gate of Ağa Camii

Urban sophisticated and casual, Caner possesses a worldly charm.

Near the embassy on Istiklâl

Emrah rocks a cultural mix of styles with Converse, headphones and sunglasses with traditional Tibetan and Central Asian garments and fabrics. I think it conveys a sense of serenity and inner peace. :-)

At the Gates of Galatasaray Lisé

Lefter and Anastasia are looking beautiful today in colorful ensembles. Originally from the Greek island of Crete, they spend much of their time in Istanbul. We talked about everything from food, culture and style.

Irem, Soliel and Emine of Mono, which is a cool, funky clothing shop by day and a nightclub after dark.

On Istiklal near Yesilçam Sinemasi

Cacharel is from DR Congo, speaks French, has a warm spirit and lots of style. I love the earth tones and stripe combinations between the scarf and pants. The shirt he has on under the jacket looks very cool, indeed!

Yasın and Tuğce looking sharp on a winter afternoon.

Near the Ağa Mosque, on the tramway tracks
