Excerpt:

Croatian-born designer Damir Doma went to his roots to explore the patterns of East Europe in a slouchy, texture-rich menswear collection for fall-winter 2013. It was as if Doma had chanelled a chic Balkan monk for many of the baggy, boxy silhouettes, and wide pleated pants, which played on contrasts of fabric: static boucle was followed by corduroy, alongside nylon and leather. Patterns too provided oppositions with washed checks on square tops, against curved eastern patterns reminiscent of a lunar-cycle. The program notes cited the influence of the Alpine sportsmen of yesteryear, who would brave the peaks in layers of tweed, high baggy pants and V-necks without lapels. The reference, alas, was not immediately obvious, but retro ski knits, snow-ready scarves and caps provided a cool sporty-relief to the monk style. The collection could have benefited from some variation pm the baggy silhouette, however.
