LFW: Bora Aksu AW14

For Autumn/Winter 2014, Turkish designer Bora Aksu was inspired by his mother, her life as a teenager at board school, and used the letters she wrote to friends and her drawings as the starting point for his collection.

It was romantic, feminine, with a hint of nostalgia with the models strutting down the catwalk with ribboned plaits to showcase the schoolgirl within a 50s uniform shape of lace knee-length skirts, dainty jackets, peter pan collars and woven knits.
