The V Magazine David Koma online photoshoot features the stunning, futuristic fashion of this celebrated designer. Alongside a very insightful interview, Koma reveals that his [Fall/Winter 2011 collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir) was inspired by [avant-garde art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hm-x-glenn-martens) and the Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama, who is renowned for her obsession with repetition and pattern -- hence Koma's obsessive use of various sized circles.

Shot outdoors by photographer Paul Scala and featuring the interview by Sonny Groo, the V Magazine David Koma online editorial is uniquely subdued and impactful. For instance, the leather dresses may be predominantly black, but the [circular patterns feature vibrant, neon colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vowels-1) that really make each outfit stand out. The Georgian fashion designer really knows how to make a statement without being too loud and obnoxious.

The V Magazine David Koma online editorial features hair by Maarit Niemela and makeup by Anita Keeling.
