David Koma AW13
David Koma's designs are always distinctive, and this collection was no different.
The designer took a different edge from his usual angular structured pieces, opting for a more spherical design structure.
With an ode to the 1960s decade, Koma's designs are made up of geometric cuts contrasted with Vinyl-like discs.
The collection stays true to the designer’s sophisticated, strictly tailored silhouettes, but the Koma girl has a futuristic beat for the AW13.
Following in the footsteps of couturiers André Courreges and Pierre Cardin, it was Koma’s quest for revitalization that led him to injecting his boxy A-line silhouettes with circular leather collars, zips that open to reveal cyclical flashes of skin and high space-age necklines in metallic leathers.
As powerful as the opposition of the linear and the circular is, Koma’s palette of head-to-toe black is injected with classic nude that flows into a bold red, a beautiful teal which is mixed in with silver and finished with a slick midnight blue.
These are strong striking colours, which only further enhance the beautiful structured silhouette of the designs.
My favourite look from the whole collection had to be the on-trend off-the-shoulder dress which came towards the very end. The drop waist flounce hem, with PVC detailing was simply beautiful.
