Raf Simons Mens S/S 07 Paris

[JureP]

i think its one of the best collections raf has done so far... i realy like it. i think this has a lots to do with the jil Sander thing... i can realy see it, that he is so more self-sure now... imagion, what would it be if he would do helmut lang...

go on raf, ...

wow this is really really impressive.. i cant wait to see some of the clothes in person.. I wont wear the colour block stuff cos its not me.. but everything else is simply great.. the cuts are amazing and the proportions are working great.. Now i wish i was 6'1.. too bad im stuck at 180cm.. hopefully i grow some more cos im only 18.. hopefully cos i dont want to alter those pants..theyre perfect! yay for raf.. and i quite like the shoes to be honest!

[new_dawn_fades]

this look is interesting esp the pockets on those shorts

i think raf has used some Pierre hardy shoes.. i thought they look familiar..cos i got a pair but i want those white ones!!

[ultramarine]

Hum ... I LOVE everything ... the color blocks are not for me but they seem really good ... you can look like hot version of a Mondrian painting!

[Izreal]

Was just thinking abt that him designing for Helmut Lang. Totally in love with this collection....Raf is like a anecdote

Having trouble concentrating on the clothes here... I usually don't get distracted by male models, but OMG! (taking cold shower)

I kind of miss the huge pants here... but the slim ones are nice too. I like how the "oversized" rather appears on the lenght, like the occational too-long sleeve. And according to the colors it looks like he's been listening more to Aphex Twin then Ministry this season

Love love the polonecks. The sleeveless t-shirts/shirts maybe feels a little too *hedi* though.

Anyone knows what the soundtrack was?

Not to sounds like a snob, but I guess a lot of you who are saying how original this is, are not familiar with Raf's work. It is actually the most un-original Raf's collection . It's really a rehash of the things he's done before - the tailoring part and the graphic tshirts. Not to say that it's bad - it's good.

[Pastry]

finally! shorts done well! i don't even mind the pleats...
love the shirts with the bottom half of a different colour..i wish he had somehow applied that colour blocking to woven shirs more..like i said, didn't like the jersey tops..

the pants with the curved seaming are very cool.

Well, Colette () but (if they still carry it by the way!) you won't find more than one or two pieces..

Printemps, bigger selection

And i THINK (but i'm not sure i think i have trouble with my memory concerning Margiela/whatever) some l'Eclaireur shops (which you might know )

The shorts are genius. Thay are different, but still very wearable.

Yeah, it's half retro-Raf, half new-Raf. Reminds me a bit of Helmut Lang SS03, too. In any event, I like a lot of it, though the wide shorts and oversized shirts don't do anything for me.

[couture_not_war]

As far as im concerned the best argument for short shorts on men and the best collection so far for the enitre menswear weeks ( saving judement for slimane) Raf for me represents youth and beauty much like dior homme but I feel reperesents the whole disaffected youth thing better by representing a wide varity of ethnicities. simply put he speaks to a group AND generation not just a group(like hedi)
p.s. all the trousers are amazing

Maybe, but now I get a 2nd chance to buy at least some of the things I couldn't afford or find back then. This man and Ann continue to cause serious damage to my financies every bloody season...
