Considering all the pressure that the attention must bring a remarkably humble Koma calmly pulled it out of the bag fora/w 2010.

The latest offerings were inspired by graphic artists Fortunato Depero and Umberto Boccion, and their geometric shapes were translated into figure hugging panelled wool and leather dresses and bold zig-zag edging.

Highlihgts of the show? The uber-sexy body con mini dresses with 1990s Versace-style cut away sections. And of course, the show pieces - jackets and dresses embellished with rolls of heavy metal zips in gold and silver. Expect to see them on an A-lister near you in no time at all.
