Bora Aksu returned to London Fashion Week this February with the quiet drama he does best. Romantic, slightly eerie, and tightly controlled, the collection felt like stepping into one of his half remembered stories.

Sheer tulle and embroidered florals drifted down the runway, offset by sharp tailoring in tweed and houndstooth. Pearls were everywhere. Draped as veils, clustered into collars, layered at the neck. Delicate on the surface, but almost protective in feel.

There were ecclesiastical touches, darker folkloric notes, and flashes of red crochet blooms against black. Faces hidden behind gauze added tension, while velvet, lace and mesh built depth through texture.

Bora Aksu continues to own his space at LFW.
