Looks shown directly in this presentation.
After some soul-searching in transition limbo, Blumarine has appointed a new creative director. Georgia-born designer David Koma will showcase his first collection for pre-fall; spring was crafted by the in-house team. Inspired by the fluidity of water and by Nick Knight’s dreamlike blurred images of rose blooms, the collection read as a more streamlined take on the brand’s signature girly look. The aquatic theme somehow washed away the saccharine, introducing a slightly boho tone that, while giving off a soupçon of Chloé, felt fresh and au courant. Ethereal fabrics billowed and flowed, rendered into voluminous see-through asymmetrical blouses with trailing scarves or into tiered hand-pleated minidresses; they’ll look their best promenading on the beach on a very windy day.
