Damir Doma FW 09

Well, I can see taking away the sketching; They probably go straight into draping and pattern making and have it go organically from there. I'm sure some things get sketched out (maybe not by them but by someone) like shoes and other accessories.

Met Damir when i dropped by at darklands for a coffee...what a laid back dude

He really is. A very nice fellow.

So he conveys his thoughts to an apprentice while multitasking & the apprentices do all the manual labor?
Much like a CEO ..Hmmm, Not bad!

[Casius]

No I don't think he does that at all, especially with the clothing. But for objects like shoes (which need lasts, soles, etc.) it's a bit harder to 'make' something without a sketch to go on.

I dont think sketching is really compulsory, especially with this kind of a style. Amadei said that he usually comes up with the cuts by just draping fabric on a body and coming up with the pattern that way. Damir's stuff is quite a bit more drapy so I could see him designing in a similar way.

[DHC]

/\Yeah, he has these miniature forms-"dolls" that he drapes fabric over.

im studying fashion and you get pushed into sketching all the time and to come up with a theme a story, which i find hard since the designers i seem to look at dont follow this, many people do an african theme or a english gentleman story but fuck that. i would rather deconstruct garments that already exsist and cut into them creating a new pattern or study exsiting patterns and combining them, really unsure if school is really the right place for what i want
really would love to speak to someone like damir and see if he thinks studying fashion at school is the right thing

[andrewislasorad]

Damir just updated his site, like nothing i've ever seen [on the internet]

[Faust]

/\ that's really cool! but surely they meant to say "disable the pop up blocker"?

[BECOMING-INTENSE]

Yes, that's very nice, triple split screen, though works best viewed
on an external display(e.i. bigger screen), but the windows can
be pulled out.

[Raw Edge]

Seeing this stuff the words "Yoga Flame!" come to mind...

[Chant]

Paris store should open on wednesday or saturday.

[maldoror]

and the best part is that now I can smoke weed and watch veil for hours uninterrupted in the privacy of my own home.

[Chant]

Store has open today, I'll go tomorrow.
