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.
