Beneath the polished gloss of perfection lies a world far more intricate. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the poised elegance of mid-century hyper-femininity - where floral prints and tightly cinched waists conceal the quiet storms. David Koma Resort 2026 collection is a tender, subversive ode to the 1960s, his perennial era of inspiration, sparked while re-watching Mad Men and becoming newly enamoured with the enigma of it’s central female characters of Betty Draper and Megan Calvet. Prim and polished on the surface, they hint at a simmering interior - where lacy lingerie lives beneath pastels, and where restraint and rebellion intertwine.

The collection peels back the idealised image of womanhood to reveal a bold reimagining of femininity as both construct and armour. Koma transforms this duality into a visual language of contradiction: concealment and exposure, control and temptation. Visual storytelling is also drawn from the provocative universe of Mel Ramos, whose hyper-feminine muses inform the seasonal palette: buttercup yellow, powdery lilac, pearlescent white, and inky jet black. By revisiting the past through a modern gaze, Koma crafts a collection where the veneer of perfection gives way to a far more powerful truth: femininity as rebellion, and beauty as a force.
