David Koma Autumn Winter 2026: The Swan Collection, Piece by Piece

The short answer: David Koma Autumn Winter 2026 is a black and ecru collection built on one image, a swan moving through a hard, concrete city. Feathers and pleated tulle play the swan; tailoring wool, shearling and satin play the city. Every piece is now at David Koma at Coveti, led by the David Koma Pleated Tulle And Feather Neckline Gown, a black satin column with a pleated tulle and feather neckline.

We have stocked 35 pieces from the season: 23 dresses and gowns, 6 jackets, a sequin tweed coat, 2 pairs of tailored trousers, long jersey gloves and two pairs of feather earrings. Nothing in the edit is discounted, and all 32 ready-to-wear pieces are made in the United Kingdom.

Key facts

• Season: Autumn Winter 2026, presented in March 2026.
• Idea: an elegant swan moving through a brutalist cityscape, softness set against structure.
• Palette: almost entirely ecru and black, with one light pink satin dress.
• Cloths: stretch cady, triacetate satin, tailoring wool, ruched mesh, sequins, shearling, pearl fringe and ostrich feathers.
• Made in: the United Kingdom for the ready-to-wear, Italy for the gloves, India for the earrings.

The idea behind the season

The press notes for the collection describe a swan seen against raw concrete, and the clothes follow that contrast closely. Where a dress is soft, it is soft at one point only: a ruffle of pleated tulle at the neck, a peplum of feathers at the waist, a cascade of feathers down a hem. Everything around that point is cut hard and close, in black satin and cady. The result is the house signature, sculptural evening wear with one strong detail, pushed further into texture than any Koma season we have stocked.

David Koma is a Georgian-born designer based in London. He took his MA at Central Saint Martins, launched his label in 2009, led Mugler from 2013 to 2017 and became creative director of Blumarine in 2024 alongside his own house. Almost all of the ready-to-wear is made in the United Kingdom.

The feather and tulle pieces

This is the heart of the collection. The David Koma Feather Trimmed Pleated Tulle Mini Dress puts an exaggerated feather and pleated tulle ruffle around a black cady mini. The David Koma Feather And Tulle Asymmetric Gown drapes a plunging black satin bodice and sends an asymmetric feather hem to the floor. The David Koma Feather And Tulle Peplum Gown pairs a black cady bodice with an ecru mesh skirt and a feather peplum, and the David Koma Feather Trimmed Pleated Tulle Gown runs a feather ruffle the length of a black heavy satin gown. For daywear with the same idea, the David Koma Pleated Tulle Hem Jacket is a cropped black wool jacket with a feather and tulle peplum. The house states that its ostrich feathers are a by-product of the meat industry. For more on wearing them, read our guide on how to wear a feather dress.

Shearling and tailoring

The city half of the swan story is in the tailoring. The David Koma Shearling Collar Tailored Jacket In Black is a fitted black wool jacket with a black shearling collar and a silver chain at the waist; the David Koma Shearling Collar Tailored Jacket In Ivory is the ecru version with shearling over the shoulders. The David Koma Oversized Shearling Jacket In Ivory is a cropped ecru shearling with real volume, and the David Koma Shearling Collar Detail Bomber Jacket is a black nylon bomber with an oversized shearling collar. Both shearling pieces are made to order, in four to five weeks. The ecru David Koma Cropped Tailored Jacket and David Koma Straight Leg Tailored Trousers make a full winter white suit, and the David Koma Slim Fit Tailored Trousers are the black slim leg. Our David Koma tailoring guide covers fit and sizing.

Pearls, bows and appliques

The softer evening pieces work in three details. Pearl fringe edges the neckline of the David Koma Pearl Fringed Mini Dress and the white satin David Koma Pearl Fringed Bustier Gown. A black velvet bow traces the neckline of the David Koma Velvet Bow V-Neck Mini Dress and runs down the front of the David Koma Ruched Mesh Mini Dress With Bow Detail. Patent floral applique, the house reading of lace, climbs the halter of the David Koma Floral Applique Halter Neck Gown and one strap of the David Koma Floral Applique Mini Dress.

The fact matrix

Where to start

If you buy one piece, buy the David Koma Pleated Tulle And Feather Neckline Gown: it is the clearest statement of the season and it works for black tie from November to March. If you want something you will wear more often, the David Koma Shearling Collar Tailored Jacket In Black with the David Koma Slim Fit Tailored Trousers is a suit you can take from a board dinner to a gallery opening. For a winter wedding, the white satin David Koma Puff Sleeve Mini Dress and the David Koma Pearl Fringed Bustier Gown are the strongest choices, and our David Koma white dresses guide has the rest.
