David Koma

For Resort 2025 David Koma explores the profound metamorphosis where the boundaries between human and animal, primal and sophisticated dissolve into one harmonious entity. The collection is a celebration of the eternal cycle of change, where garments become a testament to the beauty found in the convergence of the organic and the crafted. Echoing the metamorphoses from the ancient myths, where deities transcend human limitations by embracing their animalistic counterparts, the collection delves into the dynamic interplay of strength and vulnerability, the instinctual and the artistic.

To celebrate the collection David Koma unveils campaign imagery featuring Lourdes Leon. ‘Lourdes embodies authenticity and has an unapologetic sense of self expression, which is incredibly inspiring. She is the perfect representation of the Koma Girl – a complex character who is tough yet sensual, free yet controlled, and youthful yet mature. Watching her move as a professional dancer on set was mesmerizing; she looked sophisticated and elegant while exuding an almost animalistic grace. Lourdes truly reflected the metamorphosis that inspired the collection, transforming both her body and the look with her dynamic movements,’ says David Koma.

‘Venturing into menswear feels like a natural step, completing my dream of ‘Club Koma’. This process has fostered a profound sense of personal connection and introspection, as I see myself as the ultimate customer for the first time. The launch of this collection is particularly special as it allows me to design with my male friends in mind, broadening the inclusivity and reach of my creative vision. I am thrilled about this new chapter and invite new voices and perspectives to join our brand’s realm’ - says David Koma.

To represent the multifaceted nature of masculinity, echoing the diverse characters that form David’s personal social circle, the collection uses juxtapositions as pivotal elements, offering both common place and distinctive qualities. The Koma Man embodies strength, aloofness, and independence, yet exudes a soft, sensual aura. The collection sets out to strike a balance between ease and sophistication, blending playful characteristics with refined elegance. To temper the overtly masculine utilitarian references, subtle nods to whimsy and sensuality are introduced. The pieces invite tactile engagement and introspection, presenting the designer’s honest perspective on modern masculinity.
