David Koma’s fall 2024collection is what a dancer looks like from day to night! Through a study of dance emerges an imaginary exchange between the late German neoexpressionist dance pioneer Pina Bausch and the contemporary Spanish action artist Candela Capitan. The collection deconstructs the dress codes of the on-duty and off-duty dancer’s wardrobes through the modernist glamour of David Koma.
The collection swings the pendulum between minimalism, maximalism, shape and color. What is also fabulous about this collection is you see both Pina Bausch minimalism reflected in the neutral color palettes of white and black. The silhouettes created in that color palette becomes complete with the addition of leggings or trousers, producing a head to toe look that is cohesive. The dancers’ uniform or costumes morph into gorgeous tops and evening dresses. Chiffon and marabou fathers are also incorporated into some of the garments in this fall 2024 collection.
Candela Capitan’s influence can be seen with the pieces that are structured well with excellent tailoring. With fabric selections such as neoprene, liquid jersey, and macramé infused with color but still reflecting a dancer’s wardrobe, the collection just comes alive! The luxe touches of shearling and knee-high soft leather boots is the icing on the cake. Art truly meets fashion in this collection.
Talk about now and next, this collection has both. Let wearable art rule the day!!
