Blumarine Pre-Fall 2025: David Koma's Playful Precision Meets Milanese Elegance
Blumarine’s Pre-Fall 2025 collection, designed by David Koma, marks an exciting evolution for the brand, blending its iconic playful heritage with Koma’s sculptural precision. Now partially based in Milan, Koma draws from the city’s dynamic energy and timeless style, crafting a collection that feels nostalgic yet strikingly modern.
A Whimsical Homage with Animal Charm
Inspired by Helmut Newton’s iconic ’90s Blumarine photograph, the collection’s lookbook features a whimsical update: models surrounded by borzois, bull terriers, and Bengali cats. Animal motifs and playful accents, like “Woof” and “Miao” slogan tees and embroidered lingerie, infuse humor and sass, staying true to Blumarine’s spirited DNA while reflecting Koma’s distinctive perspective.

Koma reimagines classic staples with innovative materials and edgy updates. The little black dress takes a bold turn in scuba fabric with trailing lace, while denim transforms into a daring gown with raw edges and dramatic slits. Signature Blumarine roses adorn ruched viscose minidresses, offering a fresh take on the brand’s historical codes. This interplay of tradition and modernity reflects Koma’s concept of “code-switching,” where contrasts create harmony.
Tailored pieces, from sleek pantsuits with rose cut-outs to blazers featuring subtle logo details, exude sophistication while embracing Blumarine’s flirtatious charm. These designs reflect Milan’s sartorial elegance, showcasing Koma’s ability to balance practicality with opulence.
Building on Nicola Brognano’s Y2K aesthetic, Koma introduces cleaner lines and polished execution, refining Blumarine’s signature style without losing its joyful essence. His thoughtful evolution preserves the brand’s playful spirit while appealing to a broader, more contemporary audience.
