ALBAWABA - Hande Erçel lands in Paris just as major fashion shows begin.
It's getting close to the busiest time of the season for Paris Fashion Week, and once again, a Turkish name is among the few names called by big international fashion houses. As a special guest, actress Hande Erçel will be at several fashion shows. The engagement is another step in her rise to fame in the fashion world around the world.
Elie Saab and Valentino, two of the most prestigious brands in the business, sent Erçel formal invites. People have known about her friendship with Elie Saab for years thanks to appearances on the red carpet, in ads, and at private fittings. Valentino's offer is also interesting because it shows that European high-end fashion brands are becoming more confident in the actress. Both brands are mainstays of Paris Fashion Week, and their shows are known to bring in buyers, celebrities, and reporters from around the world.
The star is planning to go to more shows on January 28, which will make her time in Paris very busy. This week, her team has been setting up meetings, media requests, and other behind-the-scenes tasks. The exact clothes she will wear have not been revealed, but stylists who work closely with her have suggested a polished and elegant style.
Erçel is still well known in the fashion world, but her starring career is currently in the waiting stage. At this point, she doesn't have a confirmed TV show or movie idea. Recently, rumors in the business world have linked her name to OGM Pictures, but talks have not yet led to a final deal. In the past few years, Erçel has been very picky about the projects she works on. Sources say she is currently looking for a script that fits both her artistic goals and her desire to reach an international audience.
People outside of Turkey saw Erçel's self-written movie "İki Dünya Bir Dilek" last year, which brought her a lot of attention. Along with acting, the project made people want to see her work as a writer and director in the future.
Hande Erçel is still building a job that combines entertainment and fashion around the world for now. Through her trip to Paris, she is showing that her fame goes beyond TV and that she is becoming one of the few Turkish stars known on the world stage of culture.
