MercedezBenzFashionWeekIstanbulDayII&IV

I've kind of lost track of days, designers, and looks, somewhere between "I deserve to sit front row," "We should totally hang out,'" and my all-time favorite: "You look SO good!" But here is what's on my phone from the last two days from RaisaVanessa, Ozlem Kaya, Nej, Niyazi Erdogan and Gunseli Turkay.

Zeynep Tosun is back... Zeynep Tosun's back. Baby got back. Back, back, back it up. I got your back. You know, all those back-related stuff.

And for non-back related, but more update-oriented stuff, head over to The Guide.

Here we go again with all the neons and the prints and the oversized accessories and the "I need to sit in the front"s. May the force be with Banu Bölen and her team.

IstanbulFashionWeekDayIV

After the sweetest taste left in my mouth leaving Elif Cigizoglu's show from the night before, Ozgur Masur gave me my happy ending with the exhausting finish of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Istanbul.  While some people I know mourn the end of getting their photographs taken, I welcome the piece and quiet of my own room with a cup of tea in my hand, enjoying fashion-less silence.

IstanbulFashionWeekDayIII

Trying to keep up with Fashion Week is like trying to keep up with Mira Duma's clothes; it's impossible. Collections on top of collections, designers on top of designers, a busy crowd that update their looks constantly to get their pictures taken... I've aged a couple fashionable years in the last 3 days...

Day three's favorites include looks from Nihan Peker, Ayhan Yetgin, Ozlem Kaya, and the uber-talented Elif Cigizoglu.

I'd like to take a moment and talk about how stylish the men were at Niyazi Erdogan's runway show, portraying how easy it is for men to dress well. Cudos to him.  Favorite looks from Day II: Tuvanam, Niyazi Erdogan & Simay Bulbul.
