David Koma

For Resort 2023, the Koma Girl is a heroine breaking away from the mundane and embarking on an other-worldly solo adventure across the rocky landscape of volcanic islands and snow-covered mountain ranges. She exudes the main character energy, with a wardrobe that embraces the duality and contradictions of modern women and pays homage to the multiple roles they play.

In celebration of her sensuality, lingerie elements play on masking and revealing the feminine form. Her strength and an adventurous spirit are seen in cyber cowgirl-inspired leather outerwear and separates.

The Iris flower, an Ancient Greek symbol of wisdom, valour, and the link between heaven and earth, imbues the collection. In opposition to dainty floral prints often associated with feminine attire, the iris is powerfully exaggerated and appears hand drawn, as if tattooed onto the wearer in crystallised black ink.
