   FOUND THIS OLD SHOW REPORT I DID FOR UNI.. TELL ME YOUR VIEWS?

SHOW REPORT; LONDON FASHION WEEK A/W 2011/12




Aksu creates a dark and moody vibe with his A/W R-T-W collection at London fashion week. With Gloomy twists this is a new side to Aksu that we haven’t seen much of before. With a wide selection of heavy and sheer he also included his well celebrated, attractive knits. With a colour palette of foggy greys, jet black and slices of emerald running through the collection this really related to past collections we’ve seen from Aksu romantic yet seducing dark. Layers of lace and wool created a murky and provoking show.

When asked what the inspiration for the collection Aksu replied "Old movie posters and book covers of Jekyll and Hyde and Sweeney Todd were good reference points. Dark motives against an air of respectability and how to incorporate both of those characteristics into one look".

His dark A/W fairytale combined masculine tailoring with pieces of feminine sheer fabrics and chunky knits. Strong, clean cut shapes with delicate laces and dickey bow ties. Still keeping it amorous but with a male element. With lacing, laddering and plaits a common theme with Aksu’s collections it really draws the show together, with that dash of Aksu magic, which is visible in all of his collections.
He applied a wide selection of heavy and sheer fabrics, including a lot of metallic’s, coarse and draped. This collection gave an edge to Aksu’s post work, still with his inventive ways he creates beautiful pieces of art, he stays true to his previous seasons and still inserts new stimulating ideas.
