"Old new world" is the title of this cover story by Francesco Sourigues & David Vivirido featuring Garrett Neff and Robin Ahrens shot in Istanbul for the newly revamped issue of Spanish fash mag Hercules -now 'Universal' (vol 2.1).
Istanbul is the only city in the world to span two continents -Europe and asia. The capital of several empires, it has not been the political capital of its own country since 1923, yet it remains the cultural, intellectual, and economic heart of Turkey.
The city has seen successive reincarnations -New Rome, Byzantium, Constantinople, Stanboul- and is undergoing yet another change as the Old City slowly dies.
Istanbul is truly one of the wolrd's most vibrant, industrious, and fascinating metroploses. From street to street, you can step from one century into the next, and never cease to feel its frenetic, urban heartbeat.
