David Koma Resort 2027: Movement, Dance, and AI Muse
David Koma's Resort 2027 collection is rooted in movement, beginning with a simple curved line drawn with a marker. This line appears in napa leather gown tops, nude mesh tops, stacked silver chains on a black mini dress, and cut-outs. Influences include Richard Avedon's 1981 photograph of Nastassja Kinski with a python, inspiring snake-print leather column gowns and bomber jackets. Koma also drew from pole dancing's hidden strength, using layers and hidden crinoline to create sculptural shapes that feel light. For the lookbook, he created an AI visualization of his imagined muse against a blank backdrop, calling it a dialogue between imagination and image.
