Raf Simons Mens S/S 05

[Deleted member 7575]

I finally got to see the entire collection and it was a major major dissapointment. I feel let down.

i only like the 1st piece and the grey suit. Man those skinny leather pants make one look like a knight! I wouldnt wear them even if i was paid to¬

I love Raf
however I prefer his youth/punk style. He has done tayloring in the past but i was still a bti surprised, its very 'techy' for him, but is till think its veyr intresting and it makes a stroung statment, wihc is veyr veyr important to me

Raf is always incredible. I understand the criticisms presented here but he is one designer that no one can taint in my mind. After spring/summer 2002 and that powerful terrorism collection, I really believe he can do no wrong. His collections are always prescient, always powerful, and always beautiful.

Here we have another great show. I'm soooooo tired of references to the past, be it the 80's, the 70's, the 50's, the 20's. WHATEVER. It's so overdone and so boring. What interests me now is designers who are able to synthesize a truly modern, futuristic look. Karl Lagerfeld does it at Fendi. Helmut Lang does it. So does Junya. And Raf does it here to great effect. A stunning collection that leaves every other spring mens show in the dust.

this jacket detail is breath taking, the detail in tailoring wow

thanks for the close ups ngth

When I look at this,it brings to mind the same boring trends in menswear right now--parkas,hooded sweatshirts,t'shirts with graphic motifs. Frankly,I'm sick of seeing all of this repeatedly and would have expected something more than just a play with homogenised trends.
I admire what Raf does,but usually he has a way of twisting these influences from youth culture into refreshing imagery.

the more I look at the collection the more I like it actually. Its the same feelings I had about dior's fall collection. Dissapointed at first but a huge fan in the end.

 

[Scott]

Boy,did you shoot these especially for Raf? Looks great!

I like those boots,btw.

 

[faust]

I WANT this jacket on the left!!! That's the thing about Raf, he will ALWAYS have an awesome piece (or two or three) in any collection. What he sends down the runway is his soul, his reflection and his mood of the moment. What the buyers see in the showroom is much more wearable. For example, I know that nobody will have this scuba stuff in the stores this season. It's the tailored clothes that we'll see.
