Raf Simons collection pictures from the 1990's

We Only Come Out at Night Collection Autumn/Winter 1996/1997

Raf organises his first presentation for the press and his clients in a Paris art gallery.

A video was projected on a large white wall, while the kids appearing on screen were walking around in the gallery wearing the same outfits. The video tells a story about 11 rich children all dressed up, who retire to their rooms after a dull cocktail-party in their elderly home. They change into trash outfits and hang around, watch T.V., dance, conjure up ghosts, etc.
In the showroom 8 blown-up close-ups of youngsters who look as if they belong to the ‘Adams family’ were shown together with a photo of a businessman in a very classical outfit and a black motor-helmet on the head. Another picture was a parody of Wednesday Adams sitting in a wicker chair.

Atmosphere of the collection and of the video:
‘The Adams Family’ - kids, Kate Bush, The Cure, 80’s New Wave, Punk.
All the models had dyed black hair and pale faces.
The silhouette: tight, strictly classical shapes with influences of Punk and New Wave.
Materials: English wool mixed with leather.

again no images!!! :angry:
very insightful. i wish he did more short film style collections later in his career
