Ece Sükan — Biography

Ece Sükan is a well-known name in Turkish fashion: a stylist, creative director and fashion editor who works between Istanbul and New York and acts alongside that work. Because her style has been covered by international fashion blogs, she has been called a "Turkish street style star."

Born in Ankara, she studied psychology at Middle East Technical University and worked as a DJ during her student years. In Istanbul she started at Marie Claire, also modeled, and placed third in the Best Model of Turkey competition, then studied at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. After serving as fashion director at Marie Claire Turkey, she was editor-at-large for Vogue Turkey from 2008 to 2012. In 2009 she opened Ece Sükan Vintage, one of the first vintage clothing boutiques in Istanbul; she has lectured on her fashion-industry experience at the Istanbul Fashion Academy, and hosted an NTV program covering fashion weeks around the world, in which she interviewed Karl Lagerfeld and Jean Paul Gaultier.

Her acting began in 2004 with 24 Saat and Haziran Gecesi, followed by Aşk Yakar (2008), Avrupa Yakası (2009) and Kızım Nerede (2010). In 2018 she played Şeyma in Show TV's Gülperi. In late 2025 she appeared in YSL Beauty's Libre campaign with Bige Önal and Büşra Develi.
