Raf Simons: Redux

Inspired by and designed for confident male outsiders, Belgian fashion designer Raf Simons' clothes are a modern interpretation of youth movements such as punk, goth, and mod. Rather than creating retro looks, Simons infuses his designs with the energy and determination of these movements to make statements about mental independence. While his clothes are impeccably crafted with love and care, they are not the focus of Simons' creative universe. Attitudes, moods, and statements take precedence for this cult stylist.

Drawing inspiration from music, art, performance, images, and words, Simons delves into the male psyche by exploring the rebellion of past and present youth cultures. By blending these rebellious notions with tradition and roots, he creates unique and thought-provoking designs that challenge societal norms. This book, commemorating the tenth anniversary of Simons' work, showcases the intellectual and creative aspects of his designs that have solidified his position at the forefront of the fashion industry.
