Raf Simons S/S 08

[evisu 2000]

is the first one blue or black/charcoal? my eyes are failing me. if that shit doesn't come in black i might just have to get the very last one (if it isn't blue... heh), even though it's way less cool.

[goldengloves]

I think they are black, just the lighting makes them look lighter. I'm not 100% though.

Also, for you West- Peep the label on the black one! (click for big pics)

i love those backpacks but i think i might be too small to wear something that huge

what does the label say? i just see raf simons kinna.

Right above it says eastpak. (thought it would come out bigger)

[evisu 2000]

oh shit rafxeastpak?

[wEstSidE]

i'm koppin'

[goldengloves]

Fur sure. I hope we can cop straight from eastpak, that would be legit.

[wEstSidE]

you think that's possible? i don't think i'll mind the price unless it's reeeaally high... i think his leather tote from this season was like 500???

group buy from lvr maybe??

[goldengloves]

I just mean in terms of convience. I believe eastpak sells through thier own website, so if they added the Raf bags online, that would be great.

But I agree, it might be worth it to order through LVR. Shit is cheaper there, especially if doing group buy and splitting the shipping/customs.

[min2max]

those backpacks are sick looking, i want the black multi-colored straps one.

but yea there's no way they'll be sold directly through eastpack. probably will be limited even through raf sell points, and you know they will be at the very least 500...euros!!

[wEstSidE]

i just shot eastpak europe an email, but min2max is probably rite...

[goldengloves]

I would actually be really surprised if these are 500 Euro. I know we will be paying for Raf's name and the profits essentially have to be split among two companies, but these bags will most likely still be made at the same manufacturer Eastpak uses now. So with that in mind, there should be some similar fabrics being used; it's just these are a little sturdier looking than most other eastpak bags. But I know how much it costs to make accessories like this, and it isn't much.

300Euro is my guess. (I'm also being hopeful)

[evisu 2000]

maybe raf stitches each one by hand himself and he's paying eastpak to use their name!!!!!

[baskew]

someone beat me to it, but this looks like something I see my girlfriend wearing out ocassionally...

[thomas_highstreet]

props to golden for the backpack pics. those are fucking awesome. fuck man. they are really really nice. raf is such an awesome designer. him and issey miyake are who compel me to design most. both have done so much for fashion. really dedicated.

cheers

[thomas_highstreet]

literally this is one of my favourite collections ever to date.. fucking inspirational. minus the space age boots and sunglass combos.

incidently the jil sander jacket i just got looks just like the one on the 3rd fit of the first post. yay.

[goldengloves]

Thomas, I agree. I literally kept going back to this collection and viewing it over and over and it is truly something else. At first I didn't like it, except for a few pieces, but after viewing the close ups (I'll post more soon!) and taking it all in, this is one of my favorite collections this Spring, maybe to date.

The boots/shoes do look like some kind of weird leggo boot, but the funny thing is, is that they somehow fit seamlessly into the rest of the collection. His pieces have so much personality to them that you can't help but be drawn to them.

P.S. Raf needs his own flagship store.

[thomas_highstreet]

P.S. Raf needs to employ highstreet.

corrected xx

[goldengloves]

Ham&Whores X Raf collabo. Game over.

[chim]

maybe someone can call barneys to see if they're going to stock the backpacks?

[thomas_highstreet]

jambon et mon petit soeur is just the name for the fall collec. so it shal be thomas x raf x wickedist-shit-in-the-worlds

[goldengloves]

I think a lot of buyers were going to showrooms in the last week, so maybe wait a week or so. But I doubt any regular SA's at Barneys will know what they will be ordering, you have to get a hold of the buyer for that. I need some more connections son.

This is really nice (and I don't even like backpacks). The loose straps remind me of paratroopers.

The bag looks navy to me, and the pants are dark grey or black. From a styling standpoint it makes sense to pair the reddish jacket with a navy backpack (avec blanc straps) imo.

I think this is navy as well :

I b kolorblind.

Some more thumbs for u doods.

[sleazie ninja number 47]

those sweaters are intense. the all white looks so fresh, too bad id get ketchup all over it in only a couple of hours tops...

[Liberation1945]

alright let's all buy the bags and hold hands and take pictures and make love and listen to death from above

[goldengloves]

Mos Def/ Dj Honda- Travellin' man. I request youtube video meet up when said bags are available.N.e.x.t.l.e.v.e.l.
