Clothing comes alive in interplays between light and movement. Together, their impacts animate the architecture of a garment, activate its surface decoration and imbue it with life and emotion. For Autumn-Winter 2024, David Koma investigates the radiation and physicality intrinsic to his work through a study of dance. The collection deconstructs the dress codes of the on-duty and off-duty dancer's wardrobes through the modernist glamour of David Koma. It materialises in a tension between minimalism and maximalism in both form and colour language.
The collection represents an imaginary exchange between the late German neo-expressionist dance pioneer Pina Bausch and the contemporary Spanish action artist Candela Capitan. Bausch’s adaptation of real-world dress codes into dance attire, takes shape in black and white silhouettes. On these minimal canvases, abstractions of the dancer’s wardrobe unfold and new layered silhouettes appear. Capitan’s tech-centric approach to movement inspires constructions that imitate a sense of digitality and invite the refraction of light.
