Make it a date. We’ve been admirers of fashion buyer, designer and consultant Ilkin Kurt for years – and her sharp eye for design, personal style and encyclopaedic insight into the fashion industry makes her a woman we want to get to know even better. From an afternoon at the Art Gallery of NSW to vintage shopping on Newtown’s King Street, Kurt shares postcards from a weekend in Sydney, always with her R.M.Williams bucket bag in tow.
