Bora Aksu by Bianca J Swan
Q You have a flair for art and are well know for your
creative free-style, what was it that drew you to fashion?
A The whole starting point for fashion to me was the
raw drawing ability that I had when I was a child. I find the drawing part highly sensitive in a way that it open doors to my imaginary world.I always had a secret admiration to fashion through observing it since such young age. I think my first initial fashion ideas came through the people around me. My family, my mum, observing their attitudes and the way they dress, I wanted to almost capture it. I think the whole concept of taking fashion as a career choice came to me when I realised that fashion is much more to me then just drawings or fabrics or clothes. It was the time when I created my own world through illustrations and suddenly I had a revelation. I discovered the amazing link between 2D drawings to 3D garments. This transformation brings such amazement to the whole concept of fashion. I found it almost magical in a good way. I never thought that I would do something that I would love and be successful. I didn’t believe in this totally at the time, but I was not frightened by the future. Once I made that decision I moved to London to study and learn the subject from A to Z. It’s actually quite interesting once you have a direction in life, everything falls into place really quickly. Then Central Saint Martins BA and MA came in to the picture. Especially MA was my time to express my design identity and find my true self. Being studied under the Louise Wilson umbrella actually brought me into a total realisation of “what you all about” concept. After the graduation show which I believe was a turning point in my life a sponsorship award came along which enabled me to do my first off schedule show.

Q Coming from Turkey must be a huge contrast to life in London. Do you draw
influences from your Turkish roots?
A Whether it’s the past or the present, all my ideas come from what’s going
on around me: Therefore the city where I live and also the city I came from has a huge impact on my creativity. Turkey has such cultural richness, diversity… I also must say that since I moved to London I feel quite at home here. London is a treasury pot. I love going through the old bookshops on Charing Cross Road and discovering all the local car boot sales became my hobby for years. I love the things happening in the east, it still has an effortless vibe. It’s funny though once you broke your shell of your comfort zone, then being at home the feeling actually changes a lot. It’s almost the border around yourself expands in such a way that you never can go back to having that cosy/being at home true sense. I guess it’s good in a creative sense. I also travel a lot and seeing other part of the world’s different cultures and different dress codes totally amazes me. Travelling is so important for my creativity that I hope I will never take it for granted.
Q How does it feel to return and show your collection at Istanbul fashion week? A Istanbul is one of the most enchanting places. The pulse of the city was embedded in it’s history, culture, and dignity. Now whenever I travel to Istanbul
I really appreciate the city as my eyes are not trained to take things for granted there. I was actually very excited when I was invited to design a collection inspired from Istanbul to show at Istanbul Fashion Week. 2010 was the year that Istanbul was chosen as the cultural capital of Europe. For me it was the city I was so used to yet so far away from at the same time. Where you live and what you see on a daily basis is necessary for inspirational reference which I try to use as a ‘tool’ instead of a ‘crutch.’ When it comes to inspiration I don’t put any boundaries around it. Anything or anyone can be an inspiration to me. It’s usually a big pot of ideas. As soon as an idea comes to mind I like to sketch it out. When you mix the ideas or blend them there is this ethnic quality, mixed with a spiritual vibe. This was exactly the case for the collection I designed for Istanbul.
Q What would you say has been your most memorable achievement to date? A I think it’s up to people born with different gifts to nurture them, keep it or abandon it. When your gift becomes a passion you don’t even think of
it because you cant help doing it. I guess that was the case for my fashion design path. I love it so much that I don’t know how I would feel without it. For me this is the biggest achievement. I think it’s a blessing in life to be able to do what you love and I wouldn’t change it for anything.

Q Tori Amos infamously bought your entire Spring/Summer05 collection. Would
you say she is your muse?
A Tori Amos is such an amazing artist and she is a true inspiration. Working
with her was one of the best experiences I have ever had. She is one of the most humble and down to earth persons I have ever met. I do love working
with such amazing people. They don’t have to be celebrities as I actually really enjoy when people are around me, friends wear my stuff and mix them with their personality. It’s of course amazing to design for a catwalk show but I think the designs can only become real when real people apply it to their everyday life. Seeing it from outside is really satisfying. Again its mainly people around me, I don’t have a specific muse but I do feel inspired by close friends.
Q You have often deconstructed dresses and shoes, exploring movement
and sporty elements for your collaboration with the Cathy Marston Project and Converse. Did this influence your work with the Artisan Armour Group?
A I think collaborations are really good in the sense of working with such
creative people from totally different fields. People always have different
perceptions when it comes to creative fields and collaborating with these different fields creates great results. I think it’s also very inspiring to work with people who are from different creative fields as they have a total fresh approach to it. Like any creative field, one has to find a balance of hands on and technical experience. And that’s also why I do very much like the collaborations.
Q You have spoken about the importance of designers collaborating with fair
trade companies to keep clothes current and on trend. Do you hope collaborating with eco friendly brand People Tree, will encourage other designers to get involved?
A The People Tree collaboration was actually started with a project with
Japanese Vogue. It was only a one-off design project and the aim was raising awareness through the collaboration. I really enjoyed the process during this project and it was received so well that we started thinking of a long-term collaboration possibility. I am still very amazed with the process of producing fair trade garments and how many people earn their living in many countries actually working so passionately with my designs.
Q You have been awarded the Top Shop New Generation Award four times.
How does it feel to have the support of the British Fashion Council?
A London Fashion Week and London Fashion is known for its new and
exciting talents. The fashion colleges played an important part in this process. I actually started my career straight after my graduation show. That was a combination of press support and sponsorships. After my first off-schedule
14
COMPÔNERE MAGAZINE
show, I won the Topshop New Generation Wward from the British Fashion Council four times and I am truly thankful for their support. The British Fashion Council has been a great supporter and totally helped me to be securely rooted in the fashion industry.
Q You described your Autumn/Winter11 Show as being inspired by the 19th
century and Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Where do you feel most inspired?
A The double lives and identities of Victorian characters inspired me in their
contrasting ways. Starting with traditional mens tailoring reminisant of the late Victorian era like capes, bow ties and tailored jackets juxtaposed with feminine pleats and cocktail dresses to bring contrast was the main detailing. I am very drawn to tailoring this season. The beauty of classic timeless tailoring and it’s details and techniques really inspired me. Then the challenge comes with the manipulation of these tailoring techniques and how to turn it into something new – this became the concept for the collection. The duel identity of the collection is also born out in the functionality of the garments. Three-quarter length coats with sharp lapels and leather piping can be unfastened to become a more demure cropped jacket. The casual observer cannot detect that the structures are two parts of a whole – just as the relationship between Jekyll and Hyde was not seen.
Q How do you want your clothes to make women feel? A With fluid materials, I create three-dimensional structures that define my creativity and my own path. I have numerous convictions and seek difficult answers based on body, cloth, and the space between and around them. My aim in design is to be a perfectionist, which requires tireless efforts on improving a design over many, many times. For me the ability to cut the cloth to produce abstract and complex shapes brought to life through experimentation and imagination is what my design language is based on. My ability to drape cloth, at times directly on a person, also resulted in accidental design ideas, which is at the heart of some of my most important work. Fabric becomes very important in the process of translating ideas into actual garments. Fabric choice can make or break a garment therefore it needs so much personal consideration. Fabric choice ultimately influences my designs. The drape, texture, colour – these are all helpful in moulding my ideas. Then the designs are generally altered and manipulated by additional draping. Each fabric works differently under the needle, each pleat or ruffle falls a certain way depending on how you drape it on the dress form.
Q And finally what are your plans for 2011? A I am very excited with the Bora Aksu tights line as it will be launched before London Fashion Week in September 2011.

In an event that brings Milan to life more than fashion weeks combined, the Salone Internazionale del Mobile (better known as the Milan Furniture Fair) attracts the newest, coolest and most well established design companies to exhibit their latest works. Just outside of town sits ‘i Saloni’, a mammoth exhibition centre so large it is impossible to see from one end to the other. Here furniture ranging from bedding, chairs, lighting and more chairs are assembled in an overwhelming competition to vie for the most interest by journalist from around the globe. Move closer into the centre of town and design houses had meticulously planned out independent exhibitions in the most exciting and unique spaces they could find. Renowned glassware company Venini chose the Palazzo Bagatti Valsecchi to celebrate 90 years of their charming Murano glass works. Sitting beside pillaged furniture from the 16th century were commissioned pieces from the likes of Studio Job (with their aptly named ‘tits’ pieces-complete with hand blown areola and nipple), Fernando and Humberto Campana, and Barber Osgerby. So cleverly curated that Fulvio Bianconi’s gathered glass bowls in every colour seemed like natural decoration for a table setting back-dropped by faded tapestries that are over 300 years old. Talk-of-the-town was the debut furniture collection but luxury brand Hermès, made up of new pieces and reissued designs of Jean-Michel Frank. Expectantly conservative, the interest was in the details and the extraordinarily high quality of the production. Reclining chairs had copper legs well contrast by muted red and grey stripped fabric, with a head rest made from the most immaculately constructed deep-red leather and contrast white stitching that it wouldn’t look out of place if it were carried down the street instead of a handbag. Utilising renowned companies such as B&B Italia for manufacture ensured Hermès achieved the highest standard of quality. Studio Toogood held their exhibition ‘Notra Morde’ in a derelict apartment, bringing together their second collection of furniture (Assemblage 2) sitting alongside the largest collection of erotic sketches by Piero Fornasetti seen in 50 years. Each evening design collective Arabeschi di Latte was invited to serve various black foods at a Midnight Supper, ranging from squid-ink dyed bread, black tea stained eggs and burnt artichokes.

Waitresses wore headpieces designed by Faye Toogood and milliner Zara Goreman while explaining the processes behind the food being blackened as it was being served. Just slightly outside the city centre sat creative hotspot Ventura Lambrate; the only area of the Salone where designers need to present their works before hoping for an invitation to show. This area traditionally attracts design school and new graduates, and this year it was chosen as the location for Yves Behar’s collaboration with Jawbone. Creating a completely new market for music speaker products, the Jambox was launched; a brick-like wireless speaker that connects to devices via Bluetooth, producing incredible sound thanks to its inbuilt speakers and miniature subwoofer. Cleverly using the Jambox as building blocks different structures were created; an archway, a sofa and a ‘brick wall’, all playing tracks submitted by aspiring DJ’s via music website Soundcloud. For those who missed Milan 2011 the Brompton Design District is in talks to bring over selected pieces from Milan to London later in the year.

Current Pin-Up Photographed by Berta Villanueva
The Pin-up girls changed the concept of beauty and created a new icon of femininity. Get back to false eyelashes and adopt sensuality as a way of life. Play with different personalities to improve your more attractive features. Feel fresh and natural with pink, but do not forget to be sophisticated. Red lips are a whole declaration of intentions: be the protagonist. Show your sexiest side and bet for seduction. Orange is intensity, do not let your energy run out adding this color in your make-up. We all know that green is the color of hope. Add mystery with a subtle touch in your look. And finally, among all the warm colors, light up your face with yellow in your cheeks. Berta Villanueva
