fashion excerpt: David Koma. Spring 2025 - Paris Fashion Week

 

"...Koma did not hold a runway showing for Spring 2025, as preparation for his Blumarine collection took precedence, instead revealing his latest lookbook at his studio in Paris.  And the collection did not disappoint, staying on track and holding the line of his stylized amatory.  With 34 pieces on display, the Spring 2025 styles certainly felt more stripped back, and daren't I say, slightly rushed.  Some of the detailing, and innovation from prior collections are not as evident, again this could be because of time constraints, whilst juggling his new position at Blumarine and maintaining the David Koma label.  Regardless, even as a snapshot, Koma's skills in crafting the amorous are indeed on display.

Asymmetrical thigh-high cocktail dresses, lace, lingerie, sheer tops, ruffled styles, miniskirts, flowers and feathers.  It is very much and early 1980s array, with its Studio 54 esque sex appeal, that to this day has not be reviled with its blatant hedonism.  Also noted are the denim and chains, in homage to late 1970s NYC CBGB punk looks ala Blondie, who assisted in instigating the First wave of rebellious female fashion, which was all about freedom of choice, and expression."
