Bora Aksu

Turkish-born Aksu is an incurable romantic, designing clothes that smack of the beautiful nomad. Texture rather than ornate decoration is his thing; so you get fluid layers of bias-cut silk, chiffon and heavy cottons accented with leather or crocheted knit or lace. Often these contrasting fabrics are combined via intricate inset cutting to create an entirely modern but bohemian look. His colours come from nature cream, berry, leaf-green and every shade of brown.
