Dots are hot in the David Koma collection for Fall 2011. The designer has transformed the once-retro fabric pattern into graphic and futuristic fashions. The majority of the collection is black, with splashes of bright orange, blue and yellow on the snug dresses, ultra chic boots and fluffy fur pompoms.
However, it’s the skin-toned dresses with black polka-dots have the most avant-garde feel. Koma also uses dots as cut-outs as seen in the fabulous black leather dress with its open front layered skirt.
