I worked in the Turkish fashion industry as a designer for 9 years before starting my own label, Kromosome.
WHY AUSTRALIA: My husband is Australian
FAVOURITE PLACE: Although I love the diversity of living in Melbourne, work takes me to Istanbul regularly. I also love visiting Florence in Italy, it's such a fashion inspiration.
