There is something about what this young man does that
catches my attention more often than not … whether for Mugler or his eponymous
brand. Firstly it should be said that the clothes look designed as in not
thrift store retreads or relying on whatever the trend of the day is as to
appear au courant. The clothes look
modern, young in spirit, beautifully made and presented as grown up clothes.
This is not to say that these clothes are a “universal” since unquestionably
they are for women who are in better to great shape.

Obviously you can see a bit of what he does for Mugler in the tailoring and slashing and
you can even see a reference to Alaia in silhouette and embellishment but no matter since those are brief
interludes within a full collection. My only question is how the
peacock plume got in there unless that was the commercial aspect of the
collection making its statement. The all sequin pieces were a tad iffy not
because of the styling so much but the fabric itself certainly didn’t smart of
Norell. BUT take a look at the more structured dresses and jackets of course the fringed pieces.

All in all there is something classy, sexy, maybe even a bit trashy and modern about
what this collection represents. Koma
makes his point and surely tell us who his customer is by what he shows. The
point is… he can come sit next to me!
