DAMIR DOMA Resort 2014, Pitti W N°12 Florence


I've been following Damir Doma since the very beginning. I Had the honor of chatting with him after his very first show i think it was 2008? or 2009 in Paris.

I remember going to the show with my friend Sophie, back then we used to work as Fashion Editors/stylists for PENG! Magazine - good times!
Anyhow - we fell in love with the collection from the first look.
Loved everything about this new hyped designer from Germany (croatian born though).

To me it was clear that i want to dress in Damir Doma for the rest of my life, and i will! as soon as i am able to afford it! (-but to be honest his prices are totally acceptable placed in the mid-high section i would say)



What do i think about the Resort collection?

Its different. I'm missing the "beduin" looks a bit - the looks i normally love - the mix of fabrics is bold but totally legit! finished in a very fine way and the different elements round up to a typical DD silhouette i would say.

Whats interesting to me is that Damir is combing three elements this season 
- his typical silhouette
- elements like belly crop top and cut outs are awakening the spirit of the 90s a bit.
- Fabrics with woven and/or printed highlights.

I would say that the Designer is focusing on a broader market because the designs are more "classy" and would attract the average woman of today and also the mystical Damir Doma wearer.






The 90s are back - even Damir has to admit to this ;)


Pants like these - to me - are something new(er) to the brand because the  cuts are very classic and clear - again - missing the haarem/beduin look.

Jason Fox

Jason Fox’s first solo show was held at Feature in New York in the early nineties, just after MoMA’s  High and Low: Modern Art and Popular Culture    (the first major exhibition to address “the relationship between modern art and popular and commercial culture.”)  And only two years before Mike Kelley organized  The Uncanny  at the Gemeentemuseum , Arnhem.  Fox’s work itself acts as a link between these events, and they in turn allow us to chronologically situate his acts of borrowing from both art history and from record sleeves of the seventies.  Although considered as common practice today, this kind of artistic approach was not so widespread at the time.   
 In a recent interview with artist Joe Bradley, Fox explicits his position:  “ The early nineties was another death-of-painting period and to be making expressive paintings that had nothing to do with appropriation was going against the tide. Fro...
