Bora Aksu S/S 07 London

A lot of very interesting collections haven't been posted yet but I guess will disappear into oblivion as soon as Milan Fashion Week propery gets underway.... ah well.... I'll post them anyway!

Bora Aksu collaborated with Converse to create some reworked items with laces and sneaker parts.

I think the Converse logo is very off-putting. I like the idea of using the Converse structure and I like what he has done but with the logo on the garments it just really distracts you from the garment itself.

I like some of the non-Converse-collaborated pieces too... really creative use of belt detailing

i really love many parts of this collection, but it seems incoherent. i love the pieces with the buttons, and the last few. and i agree about the star - it's weird. the other pieces with the parts of shoe-as-corset are interesting, but not something i'd ever want to wear.

he's so creative

Yes,I saw this on catwalking and I didn't understand the concept. I have to say too,that I wasn't as taken as last season's gem(reason I decided not to post).

are interesting, but not something i'd ever want to wear.

his clothes are usually like that.you love them ,but you don't wanna wear them

Oddly enough, I like this. It's crazy, but oddly fresh and cool.

Thanks Susie

Very interesting indeed! It would have taken me a lot longer to figure out what was going on without the converse logo
And less commercial time for them...

It's off-putting in the greedy sense

^It takes a lot of time to create the garments, most of the details are hand made. I really enjoyed working with him.

The clothes are beautiful - but the collaboration with Converse should be as a special range or sub collection. It's much too gimmicky to be proper RTW. I've always been a fan of Bora, but this is a little too commercial for my liking.

I actually really like it, very unique and fresh designs

 

[mirrra]
