About
Born in Georgia, David Koma moved to Saint Petersburg in 1996 where he studied at the St Petersburg State Academy of Arts and Industry for a BA Fashion Design.
He moved to London in 2003 where he entered the prestigious Central St. Martins College of Art and Design, gaining both a BA (Hons) and MA Fashion Womenswear, going on to win both Best Womenswear Collection (2007) and Harrods Design Award (2009).
His graduate collection of sculptural, body-concious dresses embellished with metal tubes and multicoloured chains won Harrods Design Award and got a lot of press coverage.
This collection revealed David's signature style based on strong shapes and powerful sexuality which he continues to explore.

The Look
His final collection inspired by the contrast of the female silhouette and contorted metal, delivers both strong and sculptured shapes yet retains a highly feminine and sexual form, combined with heavy embellishment of metal tubes and multi-colored chains, revealed his signature style based on strong shapes and powerful sexuality.
