A/W 11 DAVID KOMA

BODY GEOMETRY

At David Koma's catwalk show back in February, geometrical dot art juxtaposed with a svelte silhouette and poker straight hair fell somewhere in between Japanese minimalism and 60s pop art. 2 and 3 dimensional circles, in electrically-bright fur or cutaway shapes brightened sculptured pencil skirt dresses, all in black, whose density suggested an armour. For Koma's woman, the Autumn/Winter look is fierce and demands attention, but also protection from her clothes.
