Georgian born becoming a star in the United Kingdom 2

David Koma is another Georgian born star who has made it into the news tabloids of the United Kingdom. read full story. David Koma was born in Georgia and in 1996 he moved to Saint Petersburg where he studied at the St Petersburg State Academy of Arts and Industry for a BA Fashion Design. He moved to London in 2003. David graduated in 2009 with a distinction MA Fashion degree from Central Saint Martins college of art. David's graduation collection has won Harrods Design Award and landed him a lot of press coverage. see more detailed information . Clothes designed by David have been worn by many celebrities such as Cheryl Cole, Rihanna  and Kylie Minogue. Recently I was lucky enough to be invited to attend the London Fashion Week, which was held at Somerset House in central London to view David Koma's new Autumn/Winter 2011 collection see collection gallery . This collection was yet another sensational creation of David's. Every collection that David has introduced has been innovative, he has now perfected his unique style. Even though each collection has had it's own themes the 2011 Autumn/Winter collection has a theme of polka-dots, this has come form a Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama. David's interpretation has brought the Japanese to combine with his unique style to result in a collection that is neither Japanese or European. He always works to achieve flattering, feminine designs and all he works on has definite individuality all his own.
