excerpt: Blumarine. Pre-Fall 2026 - Lookbook

"...Aligning the collection as a mainstay of "control" over "provocation" and could indeed be a calling card of the current generation, who no longer require or want to be part of digital feedback loop and its visual narcissism, ala the so called social media repetition sexualisation, which has stripped us of self empowerment, rather than libreating.

Yet, one does not want to overstretch Koma's epicurean imprint, as a aesthetical homage or forcast to reinvigorating hedonism,while not romatsizing its importance.  However, his latest collection does want you to escape, slowdown or even freeze time, and enter a parallel world, one that is sexual, open and powerful.   Be it, mysterious, dreamlike, dark, and sensual, dressed for the part, whilst visiting an unusual small bar and bookstore downtown, whilst sharing with your lover, a Black Forest cake,  sipping on a Dark Zenith cocktail, and smiling that you assisted in locking Fascism into its digital world, and throwing it into the abyss.  

Now, we are liberated."
