I was afraid of this...


The NYTimes.com review

Raf Simons held his show at twilight, on a beautiful terrace overlooking a garden. Four or five dark suits opened the show, identical to ones he presented last season. So he was continuing the tailoring story. I’ll have more to say about the collection tomorrow, but Simons is really holding a separate conversation here. He focused on silhouette (all about the belted waist and shoulders), beautiful fabrics, a sophisticated taste level and an extraordinary sense of military-like precision. All elements you don’t find elsewhere.

sigh. i'm disappointed but i definitely dont hate it. i love the silhouette of the blazers, how the shoulders are cut off and come into this exaggerated shape into the rolled up sleeves. he's really deconstructing the blazer.. i would be interesting for him to do it to pants, see the different shapes he can form out of that.

all and all i like it but i miss the youthfulness of his previous collections. even last summers collection had a sophistication to it yet it was still young and fresh. perhaps the raf simons boy is growing up.. raf is going somewhere new and he's definitely experimenting..

oh! i seriously thought that snake pattern was painted on lol but its only a completely sheer shirt!

 

[nyc_art_style]

yes! this is what i've been waiting for. raf is the only mens wear designer that truly gets me excited.

at the beginning i was worried it would be a dull show. but by the end i'm happy. i actually like the use of the snakes and belt placements. it would have been nice to see the snake print on a white button up shirt though.

LOVE IT ok that might be the minimalist in me saying it but I am digging the belts the world needs this kind of clothes I feel that elegance and the importance of tailoring is disappearing but this totally has it. Ive been waiting all day for this show.

[TREVOFASHIONISTO]

gosh i really do like this especially the short
brown leather jacket

 

[Squizree]

Wow, its so perfectly tailored. The belts are very interesting. And I love the rose gold pieces

My my the shoulder, the waist A continued exploration from FW but much more believable this time around. I do wonder if the clothes will come with belts like that or is it just a styling trick?

i luv this im sooo fed up of the skinny hedi slimane suit , a change of sihloette was needed and raf presented the right look to replace it , the big lapel sharp blazer , belted or not with loose trousers in navy and black with a white shirt is perfect. It has a strong 40s vibe meet david bowie's thin white duke era. 10/10 for this collection .

i love the multi zipped jackets, and the puffy shoulders too !

 

[IloveDiorHomme]

Perfectly tailored... of course, it will always be with Raf Simons!
But this collection is the worst I've seen from him in years....

Its lost its youthfullness, which is a shame, yeah l'm all for designers seeking new terrotories, and evolving, but l think in doing this he has lost his edge, out of this collection there are about three (if that) outfits that l would see myself buying, this is not a good thing from a designer who l looked forward to every season.
