London Fashion Week AW13 - Bora Aksu




Bora Aksu
"A breathless hush descended on the packed New York theatre, as two young women floated around the stage like heavenly beings." Helen Gent, Marie Claire, 2009.

Rosie and Jenny, also knowns as Dolly Sisters, are the inspiration behind Bora Aksu's Autumn Winter collection for 2013.
The infamous pair of identical twins, gained celebrity status between the wars thanks to their beauty, moral ambiguity and ability to hypnotise the crowds.
Car accidents, gambling addictions and suicide marked their tragic fall from glory.

Bora Aksu's AW13 silhouettes transport us back to the 1920s and the contrasting fabrics nod to the duality of the sisters' lives.
The collection features capes, shirts, jackets, corsets and dresses, where leather is incorporated with luxury silk, wool and laces.

Rosie e Jenny, conosciute anche come Dolly Sisters, servono da inspirazione per la collezione di Bora Aksu per l'autunno inverno del 2013.
Le famigerate gemelle acquistarono una grande fama nel periodo tra le due guerre grazie alla loro bellezza, ambiguità morale e alla capacita' di ipnotizzare le folle.
Incidenti d'auto, dipendenze dal gioco d'azzardo ed un suicidio segnarono la loro tragica caduta e la fine della gloria.

Le silhouettes di Bora Aksu A/I 13 ci portano indietro agli anni venti, mentre la scelta di utilizzare materiali contrastanti accenna al dualismo delle vite delle sorelle.
La collezione comprende cappe, camicie, giacche e vestiti in cui la pelle viene accostata a lussuosa seta, lana e pizzi.

Most auto renegotiating firms pay off the underlying credit of the purchaser, liberating him up from that commitment. The title of the auto is then exchanged to the firm and they thusly will offer another credit bundle that the individual will discover less demanding to pay off. Cash Advance Chicago
