David, David, David - Oh how I love you. This was my hot pick for this LFW - I completely fell in love with his S/S line so was so excited to see the transition into Winter.
Koma gave us experimental, he gave us a little crazy and he gave us stunning. I loved every single item, I literally could not take my eyes off any of it. A running repetition of circles, dots and pom poms - the collection quite literally went full circle.
The first looks were unforgiving, heavily body-conscious and form fitting - teamed with the most shocking jet black with the most seductive leather circles that were dotted up and down the torso, managing to draw the eye right in and around the body. Waists were separated off in a bondage-style leather, styling down to tight pencil skirts that elongated the legs. To help make the skirt stand out against the busy top halve, the skirting detail was surrounded in punched out leather, once again in circles, the punched out detail was further layered, with a nude slip under.
The structure to all the outfits were typically David Koma, which by no means is a bad thing. In fact it makes him who he is - his lines and fitting is so strong and well defined. Dresses were introduced with a striking facial print that took up the entire bust area, and mixing with the now signature circle embellishment. The gradual introduction of a fiery red suddenly bought the fun back into a more classic-hard collection. Not only were the outfits heavy already in texture with the leather cut-outs and embellishments, we then entered into the pom pom.
The sheer sound of adding a pom pom to an outfit makes it slightly more ridiculous - but not here. Koma managed to make everything fall into place simply. The fur pom poms managed to match the outfits and theme but they didn't look out of place - they were fun and playful and added some extra drama and texture but still kept the female figure the focus.
The bright, acid yellow fur coller caught my eye - even as mad as it may seem. When teamed with the sheer elegance of Koma's structure and design you really cant bring the attention away from that - despite the madness of the accessory.
This collection did not disappoint, at all. I loved every single morsel of it, I love you David Koma and I fully intend on being a Koma girl.
