This quality is tempered by Aksu’s characteristic tailoring in the form of overcoats and boxy jackets that give a nod to new romanticism whilst simultaneously exploring a futuristic element. Boyish Bohemian possessing both masculine and feminine iterations is crafted out of sartorial elegance. Showcasing ethereal textures and reflecting light in a playful manner, the combination of fluid, flowing fabrics and structured silhouettes adds a flair of airy romance to the strong and bold character of the pieces.
