Dressing up is one of the most motivating thing for Ulku. When it comes to putting together outfits, she combines vintage pieces, her own designs, and pieces from her favorite brand "Chloé".

DSC_0491Although her room was in the process of being decrated I knew that Ulku and her dressing room would be interesting to explore and photograph.

Fiesso D’Artico, Louis Vuittons shoe factory, where the shoot took place, brings together the understanding of traditional craftsmanship, latest technology and contemporary art. The architect Jean-Marc Sansdraolini took inspiration from the magical shoe box while designing the building. Apart from all the artworks scattered around the factory, the place also consists of a gallery full of shoe-themed works by Andy Warhol to other important artists.

The art journey starts with Jean-Jacques Orys statue at the entrance of the factory. Later in the center of the building Joana Vasconcelos's 4.70 meters long high-heeled shoe 'Prisicilla' stands out.
