DAVID KOMA FALL WINTER 2023

Glamour is a sensory stimulant: an enigmatic feeling founded in timeless atmospheres and images that draw us in with seductive force. In the contemporary arena of fashion and entertainment where self-expression is

MUGLER RESORT 2016

For Resort 2016, the designer David Koma drives Mugler Paris down the optical information highway, pushing his deft, sensual elegance into graphic overdrive. Marking a year as Creative Director of the house, Koma's designs provoke his most coherent dialogue with the Mugler archive to date, revisiting powerful motifs in new and unexpected ways. Searching for a sense of dynamic freshness, the result is a high-impact transitional wardrobe abounding with draped asymmetry and bold decoration – for contoured and feminine designs with a daring Op Art touch.

Departing from the sharp contrast of panelled black and white, sun-drenched shades of coral, sky blue, pale yellow and almond green define the Resort palette. From wrapped miniskirts in bright leather to floor-length gowns and fluted trousers, the flared and angular silhouette with an accentuated hourglass waist offers a myriad of options from day to night. In this collection Koma elevates the Mugler craftsmanship to new heights, evolving the precise cut and drape of signature bonded crêpe and viscose cady as subtly elaborate gowns and column skirts in pleat-like bands encrusted on illusion tulle.

Grazing the hip or slashed down shoulder, thigh and midriff, bias-cut gowns revealing summery skin are pierced with metal pearl details and the trompe l'oeil of sheer stretch mesh. Elsewhere white pearls hide as linear mesh inserts at the waist or elbow, and cascade down the body entwined in delicate macramé. Stripes abound throughout the collection in black and frosted white sequins, panels of pinstripe crêpe, and spiralling contours of cotton embroidery on structured gabardine shiftdresses - exemplifying the urban glamour of the new Mugler woman.

NEW SEASON - THE BEST OF THE BEST LBD'S

It's so important now when you picks wardrobe staples such as that special little black dress you get it right and sorry to say don't skimp on it .... you know the blog and my views it's all about value for money and how many wears you can get out of it ... choose the right dress and you can be wearing it for years whether it's in season or not ... we are talking about Future Vintage/classics that's what i'm talking about ..... do you know even now I have clothes going back to circa 95 ... from the likes of Versace, Gucci and Dolce and yes I still wear them ... style them up with up to date accessories and no one is the wiser and also I'm about clothing that if you decide you no loner want them you can sell and get back a good return ... but remember with all designer clothing I wouldn't stretch it as far as saying high street if you buy the right pieces and look after them they will look after you, as in being able to wear them in many years to come or a good return at resale ..
