ZOOT AT LONDON FASHION WEEK
Backstage at BORA AKSU SS27

With in-house backstage photographer @zuzu.valla
Words by Fashion Editor @rebekahroy_

„You can look at a Bora Aksu dress and just see a beautiful dress. The lace, the ruffles, the puff sleeves, from the creams and pinks, the oxblood. The way it floats when she walks. It’s beautiful and that’s enough. But if you look a second longer, you discover the story of Mary Beale, one of the earliest women in England to establish herself as a professional artist, at a time when a woman’s entire existence was supposed to revolve around her husband and her home. She ended up supporting her family with her art. Her husband ran her studio. Read that again. In the 1600s.
Aksu took that history and built a collection around it, tailoring and structure and masculine shirting worked into soft, romantic pieces, as a nod to a woman who quietly rewrote the rules around her.
Then he layered in a second story. Antep embroidery, a craft from Gaziantep that takes artisans up to six months per piece to hand complete. Every stitch is somebody’s actual time, patience, and skill.
So when you wear a dress like this, and learn what’s underneath, it stops being only a beautiful object. It becomes a reminder that women have been building power for centuries, one through her work, one through her hands, and this collection is honouring both of them. The dress is beautiful and powerful.
That’s what I love about fashion at this level. For Bora Aksu, it’s never just fabric. The dress is always telling a story, if you take the time to look.“
