David Koma just returned from Stromboli when he filmed a Blumarine Lookbook while showing his holiday destination collection in London. Lace, pearls and sugar – wipe pastels – is more closely related to Brumalin than the graphic of his eponymous women’s clothing, a vision of female acne-coded, stands out from the track of his Shoreditch Studio. The impact of speculation is interesting, but Koma will certainly refute any direct comparison between its respective brands. “I always swing between extremes,” he explained. “Last season was tough, and this time, I wanted to see how soft I could be while keeping my clothes strong and empowering women. I wanted to use femininity as a weapon.”
Koma re-watches the missions of the popular series mad Men– The 1960s remained his favorite fashion decade – and found inspiration in its charming heroine, who, under their sweet floral print dress, is usually harder and harder than her male counterparts. He tried to direct this tension to the clothes, and the flowers became a battle: the chrome rod grabbed the bottom of the bikini and tracked the babydoll’s clothing cut; the three-dimensional silk rose pierced the nude inserts on the shawl and the deconstructed satin gown. Elsewhere, the inlayed denim and bonded lace circles are manual applications across bras, pants and boudoir-ish minidresses, forming clusters of thorns. The designer’s notes are likely to have read: “You can read, but you can’t touch.”
Of course, it’s a tough thing to imagine Betty Draper and her peers looking like these, but fashion is in a different position now. For example: Koma transforms the concept of tweed two-piece into a sequin-emitting cocktail dress, and then turns the twins and pearls into pearl-fixed hot pant in wool cup yellows and powdery lilacs. The more usual palette was told by American pop singer Mel Ramos, whose 2014 lithograph was written by Mel Ramos, a U.S. pop singer, whose 2014 lithograph was written by Mel Ramos. Molly girl– A striped figure depicted in her bust and encountered the Dangerous Leather Skirt and T-shirt dress in the torso on this season’s Dangerous Leather Skirt and T-shirt dress, in Koma’s words, “imitation TV.” The designer spent a lot of time replaying the past, but his next task was to think about his own work: He spent 15 years on his business and should celebrate the milestone from the on-screen ones – including Stromboli’s viewfinder.
