Damir Doma is swiftly gaining a cult following, this is immediately evident from the tribes of loyal clients who gather outside his shows sporting head to toe looks from his latest collections.  Around the catwalk pre-show, we always spot a range of fashion notaries and insiders eagerly watching the designer’s progress and each season this designer, who has been described as “poetic” and “visionary”, pushes his unqiue aesthetic forward.  Never staying still has gained Damir much respect as he always communicates a clean and structured progression of his revolutionary silhouette.  After each show Damir leaves you feeling as if you have just witnessed something interesting and relevant in the modern development of a new aesthetic in fashion.  On top of all this, the designer himself is laid back, chatty and more than willing to explain that which has inspired his work.  We had a lovely time talking to him backstage at his latest Menswear show in Paris, to see the interview and  full show video click here.

Choosing the ground floor of the Pompidou centre in Paris to show the Givenchy Spring/Summer 2012, Riccardo Tisci attracted not just the most celebrity packed front row of all the shows so far this menswear season, but also hoards of people gathered outside the big glass windows trying to get a peek in.  The setting, soundtrack and bright prints all oozed an infectious energy that was echoed by the model’s enthusiasm for the designer backstage.  The signature Tisci skirts over leggings and sporty bomber jackets, jumpers and caps were all included in the collection but this time they seemed to have a clear cohesion and make sense as they asserted a confident and well thought through statement for the coming summer season.
