TL;DR
For the widest selection, consider the large mall near MASKO metro station, plus Forum İstanbul, Venezia Mega Outlet and Marmara Forum. The MASKO option takes longer to reach, but visitors report a particularly broad range of brands and larger stores.
If you are specifically looking for Banana Republic, the discussion does not confirm a current Istanbul store address. Check the brand’s current local presence before travelling to a particular mall.
For a wide-ranging shopping day, use the large mall near MASKO metro station: it is reported to have spacious stores, a broader selection, and both international and Turkish brands. Do not expect luxury boutiques such as Gucci there.
Forum İstanbul, Venezia Mega Outlet and Marmara Forum are mentioned as malls with kiosks and retail points for established brands. They are practical alternatives if you do not want to travel out to MASKO.
