Damir Doma SS 2010

The Garment that I chose to evaluate and describe is one from my favorite minimalist designer, Damir Doma. It is an elongated, exaggerated, blood-red cardigan with an oversized, 'drapey' hood. The cardigan features a small closure that provides the eye some movement in the garment in the form of an arrow pointing towards the right arm. The fabric of the garment seems to be a silk/cotton blend because of the see-through aspect, visible on the bottom left of the cardigan. The red resembles an almost 'deity-like' presence and the cut of the cardigan resembles something of what we know a greek god would have worn. The garment embodies oversized sleeves that fall at just the right angle into the larger than normal pockets which gives off a priest like aesthetic.
The garment seems to be synonymous with religion, possibly corruption, some form of deity, and of course the gods, be it greek or roman. There is a level of mystery within this garment. The garment may not entail so much intricate detailing, visually, but the cut, length, and color are a whole story in themselves.
