In his latest Menswear Autumn/Winter 2025 collection, David Koma redefines the Koma Man, crafting a narrative that interlaces strength and sophistication—a deeply personal take on the complexities of modern masculinity. This season, Koma invites us into a realm where urban grit meets polished elegance, making waves in the fashion landscape.
Koma draws inspiration from the pulsating energy of sports culture and the refined aesthetic of contemporary tailoring. The result? A collection that is not just a wardrobe but a statement—a seamless blend of ruggedness and refinement. Rugby’s distinctive elements are at the forefront, adorned with intricate appliqués and transformed stadium scarves, echoing a balance of tradition and modernity that transcends seasonal trends.

Rugby motifs, a nod to Koma’s love for the sport, make a powerful appearance. We see chunky knits adorned with playful cuts, while leather is infused with an unexpected edged twist, deconstructed into cashmere blend t-shirts. The signature woven badges of rugby jerseys become art, intricately scattered across knitted pieces in elegant organzas and houndstooth designs. Stadium scarves—once mere tokens of sporting glory—are reimagined, draped in chainmail and crystals that elevate them to eveningwear icons, effortlessly tossed over tailored silhouettes.
Daywear remains undeniably chic this season, showcasing a modern take inspired by the edgy streets of East London. Shrunken, checkerboard-striped polos and V-necks deliver a laid-back yet polished vibe, while oversized tracksuits in grey melange and sleek black with houndstooth panels strike a perfect harmony between casual comfort and tailored sophistication.
Building upon established signatures, Koma’s collection reflects innovative transformations of motifs like the shark fin chain—now seen as prints on luxurious silk twill shirts and embellished with elegant bullion embroidery on outerwear. The compelling garter detail re-emerges as rivets on denim and crystal adornments on tailored pieces, symbolizing the Koma Man’s evolution.
As this dynamic gallery of garments unfolds, it invites touch and contemplation, merging the raw with the refined. The Autumn-Winter 2025 collection stands as an ode to the layered intricacies of contemporary masculinity—one that is both strong and vulnerable, poised within the essence of modern sophistication. Confident yet approachable, the Koma Man strides forward, embodying an identity as multifaceted as the world he navigates.
