Seems everyone's picking up on SS's tribal influences from exotic prints to crafty beading, but Topshop NEWGEN designer David Koma's taken it forward a few light years with a futuristic twist. Flashes of neon in block printed geometrical patterns, inspired by Polynesian tribal paint, adorn Koma's signature body-con dresses, whilst translucent panels and a collaborative effort with jewellery designer, Sarah Angold, see jet black devore embellished with iridescent perspex discs. Hello tribal spacewoman in shiny black. Yes please summer city chic in creamy white!
