Damir Doma denim and leather Jacket from S/S 2013 Resort. In brand new condition without tags. RRP: £985
Damir Doma's ability of creating a genuinely avant-garde aesthetic that is versatile and accessible has received a tremendous response from buyers and customers alike. His silhouettes are dramatic without being severe, while his fabrics have a classic feeling of luxury that will satisfy even the most discerning customer. This jacket encapsulates Doma's unique direction, while introducing a playful streetwear-inspired element.
The jacket is constructed from softly woven denim in a blue so faded it is nearly white. It features classic denim-inspired detailing with two chest pockets and an oversized, drop-shoulder cut. This casual nonchalance is juxtaposed by the use of structured lamb leather on the waist and cuffs, which gives an unexpected elegance to an otherwise basic piece. The cut of the waist is fitted and produces a beautifully exaggerated top-heavy silhouette as shown in the lookbook photos.
The attention to detail of this piece is impressive, and demonstrates the care put into its design and manufacture. The leather parts feature flawlessly executed linear quilting (the type of stitching normally found in handbags) that further enhances its modern structured look. The cotton parts feature precise geometrical stitching realised in contrasting blue thread, producing beautiful curvilinear shapes. The front closes with high quality heavy Raccagni zips that have a Damir Doma engraving. A genuine calf leather patch with a somewhat obscure 'DD' logo adorns the back waist. On the interior, we can see that the waist is lined in textured light blue cotton, while all seams feature luxurious bias tape binding.
Overall, this piece is quintessential Damir Doma in its combination of a sophisticated avant-garde aesthetic with the kind of everyday ease that will make you reach for it again and again. Its directional looks are only matched by its luxurious materials and expert finishing, and I'm sure it will become one of your favourite jackets this season.
