David Koma’s feathered corset ignites Seoul’s afterglow rave

The raw energy of a Seoul night pulse through a crystalline white feathered corset, its surface embroidered with sequins that catch light like scattered diamond shards. This is David Koma’s Autumn Winter 2026 iteration of what the Georgian designer does with effortless precision: a sculptural silhouette that moves as fluidly as the body it contains, capturing movement and electricity in fabric and stitch.

FKA twigs wore the corset to perform at Eusexua’s Afterglow Body High Rave in Seoul, a showcase where Koma’s grasp of the sensual and the architectural found its natural home. The pieced together whites and creams of the construction speak to the designer’s fifteen year obsession with the ultra bodycontouring form, where seduction arrives not from softness but from precision. Styled by Matthew Josephs, the corset paired with white feathered separates and a translucent hairpiece created a silhouette of pristine, otherworldly composure amidst the controlled chaos of a rave environment.

Since establishing his eponymous label in 2009, Koma has built a practice around dress as confidence and empowerment, crafting pieces that seem to understand the contours they will inhabit. The Autumn Winter 2026 collection becomes available at davidkoma.com next week, bringing with it the same sculptural sensibility that has animated his work across red carpets and now, the electrified dance floors of Seoul.
