Creative director, Blumarine
David Koma
Georgian
Georgian-born, London-based designer who trained at Central Saint Martins and launched his own body-conscious eveningwear label in London in 2009. Blumarine named him creative director in July 2024 after Walter Chiapponi's brief tenure; he showed his first Blumarine collection, Fall/Winter 2025, in Milan in February 2025, and has since leaned into a darker, glamorous take on the house's romantic codes.
