Paris Men’s F/W 08 – DAMIR DOMA

Doma embraces this season key trends of oversized coats and biker jackets right at the start of the collection. The color palette is simple, black, black and black. I did giggle a little at the Chanel quilted leather jackets but the pants were just a little too much. Doma did show a few windsor check pieces but he also used a lot of velvet. While there has been advanced in fabrication of lighter weight velvets, the overall look of velvet is too heavy. Doma only showed a handful of knit pieces this season instead opted for kitschy prints like polka dots. A highlight of the collection was the knit sweaters worn over a high collar trench coat. Doma also gave us a lot of full leg and baggy pants for Fall/Winter. While the silhouette states otherwise there was a hint of Dior Homme in the collection along with Lagerfeld’s Chanel biker from the 90’s. Overall the collection is a dark collection with hints of color mainly in check wool pieces. The message is a blurred through out the collection, hopefully Doma can start to shift the focus to a more designed collection next season.
