On Wednesday 26th June, long-standing friend of the BFC Community and BFC Foundation Patron, Elena Petchenikova hosted a breakfast to celebrate the brilliant designer, David Koma.
Elena, a great friend and supporter of Koma, wanted to organise an event to celebrate all the exciting activations, collections and initiatives Koma and his team have been working so hard on in 2024 and beyond; from new menswear and handbag collections to now being Creative Director of Blumarine.
It was a moment for David, Elena, BFC Foundation Patrons, friends and family alike to take stock of how much Koma has achieved and to celebrate the future.
Established in 2009 in London, David Koma has become synonymous with the ultra body-contouring silhouette, creating sculptural statement dresses inspired by the feminine form. In 2003, David moved to London to take up a place at the prestigious Central Saint Martins, graduating with a distinction in MA Fashion in April 2009 under the mentorship of the late Professor Louise Wilson, OBE. Straight after graduation David Koma launched his eponymous ready-to-wear brand and has been a participant of London Fashion Week ever since.
In 2020, David Koma was one of the recipients of the BFC Foundation BFC/VOGUE Designer Fashion Fund winners.
