A LEGACY IN PORCELAIN: SCULPTING STORIES THROUGH MYSTIQUE 55
1 Your career has taken you from global runways to creative studios and now entrepreneurial leadership. What inspired you to take the leap into launching a luxury ceramics brand?
When I was a little girl, I lived in my sketchbooks— drawing colours, patterns, endless outfits. Creating was simply who I was. But as life became more structured, I drifted away from that instinct. Everything looked perfect from the outside, yet inside something quiet had gone missing.
Then the signs began— the number 55 appearing everywhere, nudging me to look deeper and reconnect with myself. I started travelling, hoping to understand what it all meant, and the number followed me like a quiet reminder.
The real shift happened in Bodrum. By chance, I was booked into a hidden resort surrounded by forest. Its minimal architecture set against wild nature struck me instantly— a perfect balance of clashing opposites. Something in that stillness opened my creativity again.
I realised I didn’ t want to just create for seasons anymore. I wanted to create something timeless.
That moment Mystique 55 was born— not a business idea, but a return to myself.
“ Mystique” for the unseen guidance.
“ 55” for the moment my inspiration came back to life.
It isn’ t named after a number, but after a moment, in which I remembered who I truly am.
