Top model Irina Shayk injected buzz into Georgian designer David Koma’s debut as Blumarine's creative director, opening the Fall-Winter 2025-26 preview show during Milan Fashion Week on Thursday in a mood-setting, sharply executed, shearling-trimmed coat.
Koma said his dark romanticism comes “with a beautiful, happy ending,’’ Koma said.
The structured garments contrasted with romantic looks in organza, chiffon and Georgette, set off by modern corsets, silver hardware and panties with the Blumarine logo written in crystals.
“The idea of dark romanticism really felt correct for this time that we are living,’’ Koma said backstage.
In two looks, she encompassed both the modern, structural tailoring that Kona is best known for, and Blumarine's romantic feminism.
