Well, Paris is off to a brilliant start with 3 great
emerging talents ... 2 of which were reviewed yesterday and the third in the
troika today ... Damir Doma.
This very talented young designer delivered a very savvy
collection which is the antithesis of so much that has been offered and by that
I mean to say the collection of Spring 2014 is modern, chic, polished and very
client friendly at retail. Imagine that!
The collection has evolved from what might have once been
considered ore school project than real fashion and has blossomed into a true
collection that spans ages and looks.
There is great swagger and polish as well as some wonderful technical
innovations such as what I call the “random eyelet” which turns out to be laser
dots! He riffs on a trench coast without
ever really showing one and he adds a constructivist type of geometry to the
clothes all adding up to great product.
The palette is decidedly neutral for the most part which is
great for most and when he injects color he forces the eye to pay
attention. Once focused on the intense
difference in color from the rest of collection, one wished that he has taken
more of a detour to that direction and added the more structured pieces. We already know he knows his way around
tailoring and sharp edges but possibly a bit more diversity would have been
greatly advantageous.
At any rate, he has found a fan in me and I will continue to
watch and see and wait … my fashion Ouija board says great things ahead!
