This season I think it’s fair to say that there have been rather more overenthusiastic security staff at London Fashion Week than I have encountered in previous years. Bora Aksu was my first show in the main BFC tent in the courtyard at Somerset House on Friday, story and I got stopped and pulled back after I had already been waved through by the PR by one particularly bulky man surely more used to patrolling the less salubrious nightclubs of the east end. My crime? Holding two tickets instead of one. But only one with a special little star on it. I think the poor man may not have had too many braincells, buy more about because last time I checked I was not a conjoined twin.

Once inside the large tents with a lit up runway I was forced to stand in the stairwell, stuff crushed against the barricade as people continued to squeeze past me. I had always predicted that this would be the hot ticket of the day; I myself have loved good old Bora Aksu for a long time. Ah, how I do love to be proved right.

There was nothing overtly flashy about the staging of this show but the whole collection was spectacularly strong, every outfit consistently gorgeous and clever. Bodycon tight tailoring was offset against diaphanous protrusions and alien-esque circuitry stitched details in a subtle colour range of peach, lilac and greys. For the more obvious evening wear options there were black lame versions towards the end; everything worn with shredded leggings, a stylistic touch that was popular in many shows I saw. Bulbous tulip shaped skirts called to mind the early series of Blackadder (yes, I admit that my cultural references are somewhat warped) and my personal favourite featured a kangaroo-esque pouched front, possibly large enough to carry a chihuahua in, if you’re that way inclined. (Disclaimer: I think I may have been subconsciously influenced by this incredibly cute sight at another show. I am coming around to the idea of dogs that look like gremlins. So long as they don’t make a noise.) Oh Bora, you did not disappoint.

Ashish’s signature sequins opened the autumn/winter 2010 show, viagra dosage and were a fixture throughout the entire collection.

Now, buy more about Ashish has become a pro at demonstrating the endless possibilities of sequined attire. He can do jumpsuits in tribal prints, tops emblazoned with rabbits and leggings in graphic patterns. In this collection there were striped sequin pyjama suits in lemon yellow and pastel blue, as well as long-sleeved tops that combined sequins and knitwear with exaggerated stitching giving the garments a Frankenstein-aspect.

It is a testimony to the designer’s skill that the collection didn’t become formulaic; indeed, Ashish managed to combine sequins into laidback, casually cool looks in a way unseen before (apart from in his previous collections). A great example of this was the checkerboard-print sequined blouse in candyfloss pink and lemon, tucked into high-waisted wool shorts.

Ashish was really top of his game when sequins were the focal point of the outfit; as seen in the closing dress entirely made of sequins, which featured peaked padded shoulders and a nipped in waist. But it wasn’t all glitz. Indeed, the overall feel for the collection was decidedly grungy. Ashish partnered his sequined pieces with bobbled, woollen cardigans and sweaters, wide-leg, high-waisted tweed shorts and trousers, as well as belted wool coats. In the press lounge after the show, everyone agreed that the best thing about the show was its accessibility. These are pieces you could easily integrate into your wardrobe; the sequined skirt, the socks, the fingerless gloves.

The styling was impeccable, giving the impression of an art student with a limitless bank account running amuck in the East End. There were oxford boots, ribbed socks, beanies and sunglasses accessorised with ironically bad hair-dye jobs in pink and blue, giving the show a punky aesthetic. Now Ashish has mastered all kinds of sequined pieces with playful motifs and jazzy patterns, it will be exciting to see how he evolves next season and whether he will remain the Sultan of Sequins.
