MOSQUE FASHION
Istanbul, Turkey
April 2025
Beneath the monumental dome, the courtyard becomes a stage. The arcades unfold like a haute couture set, edged with calligraphy, while the light cuts sharp diagonals across the pale marble.

The smartphone serves as a portable mirror, an instant dressing room; each step is measured, almost choreographed.
