Photographer Patrick Lindblom travelled to the outskirts of Paris to document the Belgian designer’s Fall show
Kicking off Paris men’s fashion week, heavyweight Raf Simons continued his ‘stand up’ policy for his eponymous line. Taking over an industrial space in Ivry-sur-Seine, spectators stood to see the show while photographers shot it from a pit in between the raised catwalks.
Continuing his homage to the past, Simons used graphic messages (words scribbled on lab coats) to maintain levels of sartorial energy while the garments were shown in 70s shapes and colours. Many pieces played with the notion of what luxury fashion really means, as they came out unfinished and with raw hems. All in all, Simons’ AW15 collection perfectly mixed his love for alternative lifestyle cultures with wearable and desirable everyday garments.
