This season at
Bora Aksu
we saw strong powerful women
become the designer’s main inspiration. One woman in
particular, the Queen of Romania and Queen Victoria’s
granddaughter, Marie Alexandra Victoria was the designer’s
muse for this historically inspired collection.We saw intricate
printed shift dresses in a pastel colour scheme fall out of
the doors of the BFC (British Fashion Council), the printing
showing delicate floral patterns that we have become so fond
of from previous seasons.The headwear was intricate, and the
final dresses were something to aspire to, within an extremely
wearable and exceptionally beautiful collection.
Bernard Chandran
was all about making a bold statement, as we saw a large
influx of print and some of the most beautifully bejewelled dresses that we had
seen all week. Careful craftsmanship and an exceptional eye for detailing brought
this collection to life. Colour-wise, it was varied as we saw shimmering pinks diffuse
into harsh blacks, while gold zebra printing was a captivating way to play up the
print. Overall the collection is dazzling and red carpet worthy.
