DAVID SAMENS
David Samens is a fashion designer whose work is defined by dark color palettes, strong silhouettes and a focus on creating contemporary, wearable garments. His design language is further shaped by the use of raw, textured and uneven materials, giving his pieces a tactile and organic quality.
Drawing inspiration from films, series, video games and other forms of media, David translates fictional and historical narratives into modern fashion contexts. Previous collections explored themes such as 1920s tailoring and 1980s science fiction, while his most recent work focuses on Victorian tailoring influenced by the visual universe of the video game “Bloodborne.”
Through his practice, David aims to reinterpret these references in a way that balances atmospheric storytelling with functionality and wearability, creating garments that feel both cinematic and grounded in contemporary fashion.
