If you go down to the woods today be sure to take a selection of Bora Aksu with you. The four-time New Generation award winner continued his love affair with a putty-coloured palette and a boho, layered aesthetic. He crafted heavy skirts from panels of tweed and velvet and paired them with jersey tops and delicate filigree leather waistcoats that were fastened together with laces. Aksu softened the mood considerably towards the end of the show with delicate crochet dresses overlaid in chiffon and balloon sleeved tulle gowns that were so wispy they looked like they might take off in a light, tree-stirring breeze. He added occasional punch to the colour scheme with cornflower blue knits and emerald green velvet (one cloaked look was so charming it wouldn’t have looked out of place in Little Red Riding Hood’s closet).
