Raf Simons Spring/Summer 2011 Men’s Collection: “The 15th Anniversary of Raf Simon’s Suiting”

Raf Simons, one of the most brilliant designers today, celebrated the 15th anniversary of his label. In 1991, he was inspired by the first fashion show he ever attended, and it by Martin Margiela, and he decide to become a fashion designer right then and there. He is, as influential as Margiela ever was. For this collection, Simmons mixes immense tailoring with contrasting affects, such as sleeveless tailored pieces with ultra loose pants, latex, very long inviting zippers and androgynous shorts with ties. All leading to a very simple two button black suit at the end to remind the world of his true brilliance and creativity.
