Raf Simons S/S 08

[goldengloves]

i think they work perfectly with raf's s/s aesthetic(the shoes with the open side)...those with some light, airy shirts and shorts, and top it off with the sunglasses. ace.

EXACTLY! I'm definitely going to try rocking this for Spring and Summer. Those sneakers would be so serious in all black.

Also, I believe the wire/loop on the back of the sneaker is so you can attach them to your backpack while traveling. I believe there is a picture of this somewhere on the RafXEastpack website. So I'm sure this can be taken off while wearing.

I like this collection more and more;But honestly,I don't like that light fuschia color he's doing, but other than that, it's golden.

i LOVE those shoes, must kop those.

but the blue ones, i don't like.

look like nikez.

That is because they are Nike Vandal ripoffs

[goldengloves]

The minute Nike comes out with a high top sneaker, in that color, with those materials, someone please let me know. Because I didn't realize that all along I could be copping Nikes that look 'just like' designer sneakers.

[Egpt]

at this point, pretty much any sneaker is a "rip-off" of some other sneaker, everything revolves around classic sneakers with some slight tweaks.

sure they have lots of similarities, but they are nike vandals with a slimmer shape, lower midsole and better materials, therefore i would call them more of an "upgrade" than "rip-off"

Yeah, I think these would look much better in all black. But in honesty, I really don't see myself wearing sneakers with an opening like that.

I like the blue ones a bit better, what material are they? I like the color and could definitely see myself wearing them in the spring/summer.

I didn't say anything was wrong with it, I was just pointing something out.

It doesn't matter if he ripped off Nike or not... everything Raf does is 1000x times better than anything Nicolas Andreas Taralis has pulled out of his ass for Cerutti

[Kodak]

What are you talking about?. Taralis was at Cerruti for barely one season, he was replace by Jean Paul Knott. Considering he designed ONE collection, I thought is interesting and I wanted to see more.

I think that nigga was trying to impress. but (s?)he faild

[onemancult]

hedi slimane might wear pants, but he can't wear skirts the way apples have seeds.

[gryphon]

*sigh* Well, Amy Larocca thought it was funny. It's she, not he, ninja not nigga. And it's not a random comparison- they're both Totem men for a reason.

Both make obvious references to a specific aesthetic but only one gets called out on it. That doesn't make sense because unlike Taralis, Raf isn't living in a vacuum. He's not tethered to what has happened to men's fashion in the past. Sure, he'll relate fashion to culture but along with the old he offers up a variety of new shapes and materials.

Taken out of context Raf's pieces show evidence of evolution. They reiterate innovations and visions but display his own point of view too- something Taralis has yet to master.

[onemancult]

dear she-ninja--

taralis is way young and underseasoned. it is a random comparison within the context of this discussion, but in general, you don't call out a baby for being unable to to spell 'polyamide panels', do you? that would be cruel and unusual, even for a fashion barracuda.

and im really supposed to care what mrs. look book thinks is funny?

[Servo2000]

lol @ amy larocca

[onemancult]

gryphon has a personal grudge, it all makes sense now.

Cocaine.

Need some help here... got some familia swinging through San Fran and wondered if there are stockits of Raf who've received the new collection yet......

thanks in advance

[goldengloves]

Probably the only one in SF that might've received it, would be Barneys.

what are you looking for? i might be able to help you out

[Uinku]

This would look so much better if it were a normal jacket/didn't have those lapels.

This T looks kind of interesting.. I don't think it'll be hard to make yourself, just buy two t-shirts, cut them up and sew them together...

[coalessence]

ooooo i love that blazer with the drawstrings

[hejski]

He remade these in a more spring-friendly version, for those who missed out last season.
