Discover the Bora Aksu AW26 — Autumn/Winter 2026 — collection that creates a dialogue between life and the after life, unveiled on the runways of London Fashion Week on February 20, 2026.
Aksu was inspired by the story of Suki, a young barmaid whose tragic fate in the caves near West Wycombe continues to echo through local legend. The result is a collection that blends lightness and darkness, or life and death, respectively, in the form of white, cream and soft pastels contrasted with black and gray.
Historical wear is delicately intertwined with Aksu’s unmistakable style and in the end, we are presented with an ethereal collection ground in vulnerability, longing, love and betrayal.
