Words: Kate Rintoul

It’s hard to believe that only two years ago David Koma was a University of the Arts student.

I can still remember the video team for Arts London News going to interview him and returning with stories of how lovely and down to earth he was. Recently married, he swapped tips with the producer who was planning her big day, little did they realise he’d become the biggest name to emerge in fashion this year.

Constantly building on the success of his past collections, Koma’s name is becoming synonymous with an excellent brand of ultra-modern femininity.

In a matter of months Koma’s career soared and so has the exclusivity of the brand though fashion lovers who want a little Koma magic should not fear high price tags as the designer hrevealed his line for Topshop.

With prices between £100-£350 (no doubt doubled in later e-bay sales) this truly is a great opportunity to buy into Koma’s talent.

With only 30 of each piece made the collection boasts some fantastic limited-edition treasures.

On working with the Arcadia brand, Koma said: “Topshop signifies youth and modernity and its spirit evokes ‘cool London’. It was really exciting to work with the Topshop team as I felt they understood me as a designer and appreciated my need to make a high quality product without compromising the design aesthetic, quality of fabric or finishing. They helped make my vision a reality and I’m thrilled with the result.”

Write-ups of the collection are grabbing headlines, with the likes of Grazia, Vogue and even The Daily Mail, all in praise there is no question over Koma’s universal appeal.

The Fashion Society haven’t been this excited about a high street collaboration…EVER, see you in line xx
