After winning both Love Island 2022 and our hearts, Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu's long-awaited Oh Polly collection is finally here and it's a love letter to her Turkish heritage.
The Love Island contestant that we all deserved has sure been busy since leaving the villa with beau Davide Sanclimenti. Not only do she and Davide have a TV series in the works, but her 16-piece clothing line has finally dropped after she teased her 'secret project' in LA on Instagram in August.

The pieces feature brand new fabrics and designs, from co-ords to dresses—so if you're looking to spice up your capsule wardrobe, or are in need of some going out-out fits, Ekin-Su has you covered.
Okay, we can't wait any longer, let's dive straight into Ekin-Su's Oh Polly collection—get your debit cards ready people!
What Ekin-Su has said about her Oh Polly collection
Expressing her excitement over her collection, Ekin-Su said: "I am over the moon to have my own collection with Oh Polly and am so excited it’s now available for everyone to buy.
"It truly is a dream come true as fashion has always been a passion of mine and I can’t wait to see everyone tagging me in their pictures wearing it! We’ve got some more exciting announcements to come too, so watch this space."
Detailing the importance of featuring her Turkish heritage, the Love Island winner said: "Including my Turkish heritage within both the collection and the shoot was really important to me as I’m very proud of my background. I’m so excited for you all to be able to see this in the dresses!" We're excited too!

She also shared the special moment of her Oh Polly billboard debuting at Time Square in an Insta reel. In the video, her enormous video billboard could be seen in the background as she ran and jumped into Davide's arms and kissed him.
Ekin-Su wrote in her caption, "Since I was a little girl I would always dream about New York and how much I wanted to be on Times Square...I truly believe in faith and being a good person in life. Having dreams and working hard.
"Never giving up. Whatever happened in life I never gave up. Never complained even when things weren’t going well… I’m extremely grateful for everyone around me. All the love all the beautiful support and of course the @ohpolly team. My biggest supporter is you @davidesancli I love you so much ❤️"
