Walk & Talk, a series by Serena Uziyel exploring personal style, everyday rituals, and life in Izmir through conversation.
In our third episode, we walk through Izmir with Zeynep and Berçin Mayruk, two creatives whose practices may take different forms, yet are shaped by a shared way of seeing. Berçin creates identities for spaces and feelings for the people within them, while Zeynep brings the things she imagines to life through fashion. As they put it, what they do isn’t really that different.
Based in Izmir, Zeynep and Berçin find inspiration in the rhythm of the city they call home, where creativity is shaped through shared perspectives, thoughtful design, and everyday moments. Together, they embrace a refined approach to fashion, architecture, and living, where craftsmanship, personal expression, and timeless aesthetics naturally intersect.
“I think what makes a design timeless is feeling like yourself when you wear or use it. Every woman has a different piece that makes her feel her best, and that’s exactly what makes it timeless.” - Zeynep Mayruk
“I guess, in the end, we always arrive at the same place. The things that make you feel good always outlast time.” - Berçin Mayruk
