Very cool and interesting…from Dazed Digital:
In the midst of Berlin Fashion Week, Damir Doma found time time to present his second line, Silent. It’s not a diffusion line per se; no jeans or watered down catwalk pieces were on display in his Mitte showroom. Instead, the Croatian born designer has, since its launch in Paris late last year, focused on fluid and soft designs that are suitable for everyday wear. Keeping elements of his fundamental aesthetics while adding fabrics and cuts that will appeal to most, Doma has created an accessible clothing line with its strong integrity intact.
For Spring Summer 2011 that meant his usual colour palette of grey, light beige and black, but with an added touch of mustard yellow. A few pieces, like the sleeveless rain coat and trousers with twisted pockets, had been brought over form the main line, bu the rest are 100% Silent. Suede and leather parkas impressed, and bags – some of them based on Japanese Origami skills – are surefire hits. The jersey pieces we have come to associate with Damir Doma were present. One piece that stood out in terms of fabric and cut was Doma’s bomber jackets. As part of the Silent celebrations, Doma threw a rooftop party and showed ‘Ghosts in Architecture’, his unique film collaboration with image-maker Malcolm Pate and legendary music producer DJ Hell. Dazed Digital chatted to both Mr Doma and Mr Hell, and bring you an exclusive preview of their film…
