What to know about David Koma
Built for the red carpet
The core is sculptural, body-conscious eveningwear: cut-out mini dresses, corseted and asymmetric gowns, crystal, sequin and chainmail work, feathers and metal hardware.
Mugler years explain the silhouette
David Koma ran Mugler as creative director from 2013 to 2020, and the same taste for hard-edged, engineered glamour drives his own London label.
Menswear is brand new here
After 15 years of womenswear, the label showed its first men's collection, "I Love David," for Spring/Summer 2026 at Berlin Fashion Week.
