Damir Doma
Damir Doma is a Paris based Avant-Garde Designer. The Croatian-born designer grew up in southern Germany near the Lake Chiemsee and studied fashion in Munich and Berlin, where he graduated in 2004 with magna cum laude for the best collection.
<Damir Doma’s collections seem lit by a soft, melancholic quest for fluidity. Inspired by identity’s multiple expressions and the link with the fragile, ephemeral quality of the body, he creates pieces that explore interpretations of contemporary masculinity>
In 2006, after meeting with CEO of the Paper Rain Group Stephan Wembacher, Damir joined Paper Rain and a new label under his name was launched; and it was not long before he made a promising debut at Paris Fashion Week after presenting his first collection in June 2007. A strong following has ensued since, and one that has translated into commercial success in boutiques around the world too. After six runway shows for his mens collection he is now preparing his first Womens collection which he will show as part of the official Paris Fashion Week.
Today, Damir Doma is widely considered the most important German Fashion Designer in his Generations.Other designers known in the field of Doma are Rick Owens, Ann Demeulemmester, Yohji Yamamote or Rei Kawakubo from Comme des Garcons.
In September 2009, Doma and Paper Rain launched another collection called Silent. The Silent line is Doma's first step into the organic and contemporary world.
Paradoxically, Doma, with his quiet quest for a fleeting serenity and his creations of subtle and layered looks, somehow seeks tranquillity through a kind of gentle transgression.
