Bora Aksu's Spring 2025 collection was a tribute to his late mother, featuring billowing bouffants, tiered dresses, and sheer fabrics in a garden setting.
The collection showcased delicate crochet, lace details, and a muted palette of white, black, and navy in the first half, while the second half featured surreal floral fantasy designs with dramatic draping and crocheted flower appliques.
Turkish songs, reminiscent of those sung by Aksu's mother, played as models descended from St. Paul's Church in London, creating a whimsical and nostalgic atmosphere for the show.

Billowing bouffants; tiered dresses, lacy and frilled; sheer fabric draped every which way. Bora Aksu's collection was a celebration of his late mother's life, and a confectionery delight.

Guests, sitting on benches, sunned themselves in the garden of St. Paul's Church, which was abloom with pink and red roses, Aksu's mother's favorite flower.

Turkish songs, ones his mom sang to him as a child, wafted through the air as models made their descent from the church to the grounds.

Aksu has a talent for adorably doll-like clothing. There were glimpses of delicate crochet, while lace peeked from under coat dresses. Sheer, floaty skirts came with sweet blazers and peter-pan collar blouses.

He worked a muted palette of white, black and navy for those coquettish looks.

By contrast, the second half of the show was a surreal floral fantasy – but it wasn't as pretty as the first. Pale pink and white midi- and maxi-dresses, were festooned with dramatic draping and crocheted flower appliques, another nod to his mother's passions.
