For nylig så jeg et street style foto af en kvinde iført et stykke tøj af den georgianske, London-baserede designer, David Koma. Dette gav mig blod på tanden til at lede efter mere tøj fra manden, eftersom det var kærlighed ved første blik: jeg har kigget hele hans bagkatalog af kollektioner siden hans eksamen fra Central Saint Martins igennem og jeg er fuldstændig skudt i ham. Jeg har derfor her lavet en collage af et par af mine yndlings-looks fra hver af hans, i alt, otte kollektioner. Jeg synes det er seværdigt hvorledes man kan se udviklingen i både inspiration, temaer og kvalitet gennem hans kollektioner, mens man dog stadig kan genkende hans designæstetik i det hele. Fokus på kontrasten mellem gennemsigtig og uigennemsigtig er et af hans kendetegn samt det mest interessante fokus på geometriske former og mønstre(som tilfældigvis er min nuværende besættelse) og sidst men ikke mindst en leg med materialer, deres muligheder og deres udtryk. Jeg er solgt! Jeg tror ikke jeg kan vælge en yndlingskollektion, da der er så mange højdepunkter i de forskellige kollektioner, men mine favoritter på denne collage er look nr. 2, 3, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13 og 14. Det er så meget forskelligt, der fanger mig, men geometrien og transperancen spiller en stor rolle! Hvad synes I?
Recently I saw a street style shot of a woman wearing an item by the Georgian, London based designer, David Koma. This tickled my interest quite a bit since it was simply love at first sight: I set out to click through his calatogue of collections since his graduation from Central Saint Martins and I am more than in love, so I made a collage with a couple of my fave looks from his eight collections. I think it’s remarkable how much the development in both inspiration, themes and quiality shows through all collection, meanwhile still recognising his design aesthetics in all of it. The focus on the contrast between opaque and transparent is quite apparent in all of his collections as well as an intriguingly interesting focus on geometric shapes and patterns(which coincidentally also is one of my current obsessions) and last but not least a play with materials, their possibilities and expressions. I’m won over completely! I don’t think that I can choose a fave collection, since there are so many highlights from every one of them, but my faves on this collection count the looks numbered 2, 3, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14. There’s a lot of different things that intrigue me about them, but the geometry and transperence play a huge part of it. What’s your opinion?
