David Koma RTW Spring Collection 2012

Don’t write David Koma off as merely the body-con frock guy. His favorite looks in today’s show were the trousers—lovely, fluid, leg-lengthening things cut in both ultralight dévoré jersey and ultralight wool. "I love so many things," he said, chafing slightly at the dressmaker rep. "Draping, trousers, all the jackets. It’s all in good time."

For now, Koma is working in the same vein as his last two collections: a series of dresses fitted to within a proverbial inch that crescendo over a tightly formed theme. This time, it could be described as minimalist sci-fi tribal—fierce but precise. The dresses were constructed with peplums of kiltlike pleats and fringe encircling neat waists and Polynesian tribal motifs, which were either set into dresses or on jersey dévoré so as to appear painted on the skin.
