BORA AKSU SS13 LONDON FASHION WEEK
I was lucky enough to have been invited to the Bora Aksu Spring/Summer 2013 fashion show during London Fashion Week. I was also gifted Ellis Faas holder with liquid lipstick, eyeshadow and compact powder.
The show was great, I spent most of them time taking pictures and didn't enjoy it as much as I could…however the whole vibe was striking and the collection was beautiful!
Maybe I’m over my head, maybe no one feels the same way about Bora Aksu like I do and maybe I have not experienced enough of these fashion shows to compare it with. Whatever the reason may be, I can’t help it but to admit that I have never experienced such simple yet complex atmosphere. This is the second time I have experienced his shows and the London based Turkish designer never fails me.
I was sitting next to this lovely lady, who happened to be the mother of Antony Waller (brand director of Bora Aksu) and behind Kelly Brook and Kate Nash…I had no idea about these people until after the show (I was specifically clueless about Kate Nash and never heard of her before…) She was lovely regardless and I briefly met her and had a quick chat.
How lucky can a girl be after witnessing such show? Very lucky, I got to meet Bora Aksu backstage and congratulated him on his amazing work. Like he has not heard that far too many times? Well “I really love Istanbul and been there twice” was followed after the million praises I have thrown at him. He was so humble and light-hearted and simply replied with ‘Thank you very much”. He said that three times I must add, at the end of the day I felt like I was being praised by him for praising his work…great huh? Yes, I think so too! The lovely Maria Papadopoulou (head make-up artist and ambassador of ELLIS FAAS) even described him as ‘beautiful inside and out’; I second that! It was very lovely to meet the guy behind the Modern Queen collection.
I suggest that you watch the highlights on here and listen to ‘Youth’ by Daughter at the same time; perhaps you’ll get to experience a glimpse of it for yourself.
