Burc Akyol loves to blur the lines of gender expression – and he knows how to do it well too! The French-Turkish designer’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection evoked the sensuality of Studio 54, albeit in its most streamlined version – think Bianca Jagger in her iconic white suit. The show opened with a masterfully tailored double-breasted jacket, paired with white chiffon harem pants and a silk headscarf. This allure of the 1970s permeated the majority of the looks. The white tuxedo shirt has been reworked into a tunic with an opening exposing tailored bellbottom trousers, which in another set have been presented with a sleeveless peplum top – two propositions eliciting Jacques de Bascher’s androgynous spirit. The collection climaxed with a selection of silhouettes in sheer fabrics, which over the past couple of years have become Akyol’s signature. A black floor-length dress with draping covering the bust exposed the model’s torso, while a dramatic satin gown has been juxtaposed with a see-through mini worn on top – making a modern statement on nighttime attire.
