[London] David Koma AW 2012

Drawing on both 60s and 20s, masculine and feminine, and vintage Victorian and modern sportswear references might be too much for some, but not David Koma. His Autumn collection was something of an exagerated ladylike look. Beginning with fitted tailoring in monochrome, things were shaken up by such twists as sheer and opaque fabric panels on shirts and dresses curving around breasts in what was both minimalist and hyper feminine. Also key were nipped in waists, hips were added either with the peplum frill shape which has been seen "everywhere" this season, or with a little twist. His signature silver metal loops as graphic detailing was featured on a fitted white dress with printed fabric pouring out to create this ultra feminine look. It was also seen forming embellishment on waistlines and on the hems on straight shift dresses reminiscent of swinging London. The show started with monochrome looks before blue, plum and olive shades made an appearance. Opulent silky fabrics of fitted dresses with leathers and fur coats thrown over shoulders were retro glam while fur jackets with wool sleeves were wholly "now". It was a strict look but not severe; dignified without being prim; body conscious without revealing too much at all.
