An inspired season for Bora Aksu saw the label using substantial amounts of mesh and dark fabrics to create peek-a-boo victorian punk inspired garments. They have a certain flair for turning the not-so-attractive moiré taffeta into super short dresses that would not be out of place at your local punk bar.
The label paired their creations with one of this season's hottest trends, embellished tights, while the ample amounts of mesh provided more provocation than it does actual protection; the outfits were more cutesy than hardcore.
