It-Kids is a new series in which Vogue Business spotlights the up-and-coming global talent brands need to know, in partnership with Launchmetrics.
Turkish talent is having a moment. Ahead of her final runway show for Versace, Donatella Versace posed alongside show attendee and Turkish actor Hande Erçel. Erçel is currently starring in Remember Love (Aşkı Hatırla), one of the many Turkish dramas to break beyond the region onto international screens. Türkiye is now reportedly the third largest exporter of scripted series, behind the US and the UK, according to data analytics firm Globaldata. There’s even a university course on Turkish TV dramas at Northwestern University in Qatar.
