More often than not, designers like to create collections with a woman in mind – a muse which encapsulates the essence of their brand. For Fall/Winter 2025, Burc Akyol flipped this notion on its head – conceptualizing an offering that became an homage to the feminine qualities within himself.

Aptly titled FEM, the proposition centred around menswear classics, redefined. A power-shouldered blazer in pinstriped navy became a mini dress – worn with a pair of see-through stirrup leggings adorned with gold coins. The glimmering detail was further used in its maximalist iteration on a statement cropped leather jacket, with an abundance of leather straps moving to the rhythm of the soundtrack. A traditionally masc denim jacket became glam through the use of black fur wrapped around the collar.

Akyol is a big fan of sheerness, with some of his most-known designs being created out of diaphanous chiffon. This time around, the silhouettes were reconsidered through accents of vibrant hues, with the brand’s signature slinky gowns featuring hints of cobalt blue and fuchsia.
