Damir Doma WMNS A/W 10

Just as I suspected, Damir's womenswear is just as exceptional as his menswear. And pieces from each line could be worn by either of the sexes, really. My favorite is the last piece of the show, the dress whose hem loops upwards to form a head scarf (bottom right). Brilliant.

1) Fog. I love the sound of fog. My 2 AM walk home last night/this morning was the closest I've come to hearing complete silence in the last 1+ year of constant ear ringing. And the sky looked like this shredded tee by Urban Revisions. Sigh. I could've walked home for hours.

2) Ravishing Mad. RM's Anna is a genius (and quite brave). Her newest project is called 'Paraphrase', which is a series of ten different Ravishing Mad interpretations of well-known photographs. Each of these photos are also accompanied by a new breed of fashion video, which follows the photo shoot and features some lovely Ravishing Mad designs, even if worn ever so briefly. The first one is a paraphrase of Annie Leibovitz' photo of John Lennon and Yoko Ono that was on the cover of Rolling Stone in 1980, starring Anna and her husband, Truls Bråhammar. It's a bit nekkid for my blog to post in its entirety, but do go see both the full poster and the video here.

3) Limi Feu. She just showed her A/W 10/11 collection in Paris today. I'm not nearly as keen on it as I was her previous collection, but I'm just happy she's still around.

4) Damir Doma. Today was his greatly anticipated A/W 10/11 WMNS Show. I'm incredibly excited, as you know I'd gladly wear much of Damir's menswear. Google has provided me with these brief glimpses, via Twitpic. Enjoy.

Damir Doma

As you know, I don't really care much about menswear, especially as my man does not often agree with or understand my fashion sense. However, I happened to click on one of the featured designers on the front page of NJAL today, and I now have a new source of endless style inspiration. Damir Doma is a Croatian-born Paris-based designer of simply gorgeous melancholic draped and layered pieces. These photos come from Damir's past four collections, beginning with S/S 10 at the top (mmm...greys...). According to his Facebook, he has a womenswear line coming out soon (edit: scroll to the bottom of this post), as well as a new label entitled SILENT, a collaboration with Swedish Paper Rain which will feature organic cotton basics at a more affordable price range than Damir's main line. If you can't wait for those though, visit oki-ni to order some of these gorgeous menswear pieces. Sigh.

Damir Doma A/W 09/10 - Love the braid belt, olive hues, and sheer pants.

Damir Doma S/S 09 - Such a soothing lilac-infused palette, which I'll be recreating this spring with my very own circle scarf by Jaana.

Damir Doma A/W 08/09 - This is probably my favorite collection with all the black I could want. And those petal-layered pants!

Edit (January 25th): Yesterday was Damir's A/W 10/11 runway show in Paris. This was one of the looks - perhaps a hint towards his A/W 10/11 womenswear show coming in March?
