Raf Simons F/W 11.12 Paris

[Desi]

Park and Bond uploaded a duffle and the white sneakers.

I need to put an APB out on those mountain dress boots. My god.

The construction / fabric / fit of some of those outerwear pieces is incredible.

i am starting to like this more and more by the day. i love the boxy neoprene hooded jacket

and the soundtrack (more techno, please. can the chem bros make a special soundtrack for his next collection? or kraftwerk ?)

and the knit tunics (long knit jawnz remind me of the wave test jumpers/dresses)

fuck an appron (nevermind. would be perfect for #cookin)

edit: give me the oversized purple jawn

I have been going back to this collection several times and my opinion is always different. I feel like raf is in a whole different galaxy this time around, and totally ahead of the curve. Compared to everything out there right now, he is one of the only designers who didn't play it safe and it actually paid off. I don't know if this will ever be well received or even sell well for that matter, but damn I want some jackets from this collection.

[Desi]

Park has some of the Fall/Winter collection in.

The Shoes! But not the boots.

Gotta say I'm really digging this duffel jacket, and this is coming from someone that is not into duffel. Surprisingly like the camel tone, too. Thinking about getting it.

[Fycus]

Fuck, the cotton jacket is on park and bond and it looks pretty different (in a bad way) compared to the one in the fitting and in the lookbook. The one in the fitting and lookbook seems to be composed of neoprene, giving it an almost puffy balenciaga-egg esque look to it, while the one on PandB looks like a basic flat cotton jacket. Not to mention it runs over $1000, huge pass for me unless it has that puffy look in person. Love the color though...

[Desi]

Aloha rag has some RAF in store now. Tried on the duffle but thy also had the short duffle and a few nylon pieces.

[historyofmyworld]

^Was the short duffel the one I posted? Do you know how much it was?

[Desi]

Yes but I do not remember the price. Try calling the store.

[Fycus]

New collection in stock at Mr Porter, titties! Outerwear and sneakers look great, too bad instead of sticking with runway colors they chose black for the outerwear.

[pita bread]

Camel duffel is da shit mang.

[broneck]

there is a purple rain coat

the collection is called fall of the prince

is this a comment on the commercialization and commoditization of art?

[bluespring]

did anyone else pre-ordered at seven ???

[pita bread]

did anyone else pre-ordered at seven ???

I did, but it was for Juun.J. Why, are you having problems with them?

[bluespring]

^Nah, just wondering when they will get their order. They didn't get Raf SS11 til July ;/

[bill]

went to 7 last week. axed the guy about their JuunJ shipment and he said "REARRY SOUN~"

[bluespring]

some stores got the hoodie already but the close up picks makes me think the production pieces are not the same as the runaway ;/

does anyone have save photos of the hoodie from seven?? especially the white one.

[pita bread]

That hoody was not featured on the runway. If you look at the hi-res photos here, the "master craftsman" hoody has similar sleeve seams to the "dead prince college" jumper -- the "memory ware collector" seems to be a different cut alltogether, with drop-shoulder seams like the oversized short sleeve tops.

By the way, Barneys has the cropped duffle in sizes 34-40 for $1620.

[bluespring]

^i was just thinking they would be like the sweatshirt. don't really care about the cut but the fabric on the hoodies seems lighter and doesn't retain the shape as the one's they use in the runaway. same thing with the cotton jacket. i'm just pretty bummed with my seven pre order.

white one on por vocacao

I hear ya, handled the hoody in person and it's really cotton-y...

[DüM]

really like those sweaters

[Desi]

this mason theme is scaring the shit out of me.

I think the approach raf took is something using collegiate oldschool materials, but its silhouette and design is very futuristic. I wish he went with material like that used in the scuba hoodie from COS. Which reminds me, can anybody proxy that scuba?

[historyofmyworld]

Barney's price is jacked. Cost more than the longer version on other sites.

Also, I'd love to join in on the proxy if anyone is willing.

who did the music for the fitting video its dope

[fkim]

does anyone know what season this is from? i apologize if this isn't the appropriate place to post this.

[Fycus]

its raf by raf, not mainline, and I think its from sometime between fw10 and ss11
