Boutique Runway

Bora Aksu, an upcoming fashion designer, did his MA degree after doing his BA Honors degree in fashion at Central Saint Martins. Bora left college after doing his MA in 2002 with distinction. His free expression was on full display at the CSM MA Fashion show, which portrayed him as a designer of great talent. He drew good appreciation from the audience and the press alike and was dubbed “the star of the show”. Such impression was he able to make that Dolce and Gabbana bought some of his collection. Bora was assisted in starting his own label collection through a sponsorship that his collection won him.

His debut fall / winter 03 show took off in February 2003 during the London Fashion week. The press was very optimistic about Bora’s work with the Guardian rating his collection as “one of the top shows in London”. The show won him the New Generation award from Topshop. The subsequent spring / summer collection 04, fall / winter collection 04, and spring / summer collection 05 from Bora Aksu all won him the New Generation awards.
