What is the most inspiring thing about 10 Karakoy as a Fashion Director of a well-know magazine?

Historical sense of 10 Karaköy and its premises keeps a treasure of aesthetical memories. I feel it everytime at my first step in. 

 Finally, you decorated Christmas Tree of 10 Karaköy this year. What inspired you while designing it? 

I used Byzantine color erguvan's cold tone rose while decorating the tree. I thought the Empreror Thedora would prefer that way. Silver balls  symbolized the scopes of bosphorus and Marmara sea and white ones in between seagulls and eternity.
