[alex.a]

I think they were discussed in the Doma f/w 08-09 thread

DD X Linda Farrow hitting soon.

I hear he is also doing a collaboration with Tide. And then General Electric. And then who knows - the sky is the limit.

[Fade]

No problem, Fade. It's up to Damir and his investors to drive his business, not us.

For sure, sage words Faust...sage words.

Yeah I knew that he did something with Linda Farrow, but i didn't even saw a pic of the work....his sister told me that those sunglasses looks very similiar to the wayfarer and they're simply amazing.
I can't wait to see them! (and get a pair for sure )

anyone gonna stock any of these pieces, id love to get my hands on them?

usually stores buy boring garments from the collections that i think are fantastic, really hoping someone will be abit risky.

[Jon]

Boki, what piece do you have your eye on?

Let's be realistic here.... I'd love to hear what you think about all the shops carrying Damir Doma and their "boring" buys...

[reborn]

Purely out of curiosity, Did Seven ever receive their DD shipment? What about Raf?

I think Seven should start targeting Australia and South America, or at least treat their arrivals as cruise collections or something, cause shit clearly ain't working...

[reborn]

Sweet...Raf & DD resort collections: graphic tees, euro banana slings and thongs (with lots of drawstrings and metal inserts)...

you probably own a store dont you?

i think the pieces i had in mind, refering these to DHC's post, were; the wrap around type-of Kaftan in picture 7, the scarf thats worn in some of the pictures - its just like a donut shape around your neck, i think that was about it that i wholly was interested in. There are some other good items that i would through on board, but on at this time.

I got no clue what stores carry Damir Doma, It was a general statement which i just felt like making due to precedent with other labels and what i see buyers buy. its usually what they can sell and NEVER do they go for even one experimental piece. This is why i value Eastern Market.

P.S. Jon dont take too much offense, its only me that probably thinks this.

[Jon]

Boki, no offense taken. I just expect that when someone would make a statement such as the one you made that you could back it up. For any store to be carrying Damir Doma to begin with, is taking quite a risk on a relatively unknown designer.

I work at Komakino, and I was interested to hear your opinion because for a store based out of Vancouver we certainly don't operate within the mainstream and have been carrying Damir Doma since his first collection - that makes it Seven and us in all North America.

I feel the same way you do with regards to the way many stores buy, and I can understand the frustration. But I think that you could be approaching this a little close-minded.

If you don't know what stores carry Damir Doma, find out. If there's something you're interested in, contact one of those shops and see if they can get what you're looking for. No need to start a rant about stores buying this or that brand in a 'boring' way without actually being aware of what stores (ie: Atelier, Komakino, Seven) have actually bought in the past. Believe me, we're not 'playing it safe' selling transparent-sleeved silk-organza bomber jackets in Vancouver and we're not doing this for any other reason than that we believe in what we do.

ADDING:
Most shops carrying Damir Doma are relatively small operations. We are very responsive to our clients and customers. We hope, and expect, to be very approachable because it's not very often you find customers interested in this product - just as it's not very often you find a shop with that product. Understand that we have specific clients in mind when we go into a showroom and we can discuss collections and pieces with them when making our buy. If you want something, speak out, that's how capitalism works, no?
