VIDEO: Raf Simons Spring 2010 Fitting By Pierre Debusschere

I never thought the laborious and nit-picky fashion fittings could be made in such brilliant works of art. Check out Pierre Debusschere’s documentation of Raf Simons’ Spring 2010 fitting in Paris this June!
TRENDSPARK: Men In Color-blocking




As dictated by Raf Simons in Thomas Lohr’s spread for GQ Style Germany #16 Fall 2009, color-blocking isn’t just for the ladies! I didn’t think color-blocking would be flattering, let alone masculine, on the guys, but by the looks of these incredible Simons pieces, I’m liking the looks of it! Keep your eyes peeled for the color-blocked suits, because I can see these bad boys hitting mass market sooner rather than later!
Thanks Coute Que Coute!
SHOP RAF SIMONS: Black Wire Frame Sunglasses; $318

Raf Simons always has some edgy accessory to spice up a simple look. Point blank- his incredible black wire frame, blue tinted lens glasses. I love how these basic sunglasses are adorned with an industrial frame to give the shades a rugged appeal. Complete with middle hinges to protect from breakage, Simons certainly wants his presence known…and to survive!

SHOP Raf Simons | Spoiler Loafers, $$$

Ever since Jak & Jil posted these amazing Raf Simons “Spoiler” Loafers, I’ve been dying to get my hands/feet on them. Well indies, the winged kicks might not be as untouchable as you think, because I found them here, at Seven New York! Just over $1000, the 100% leather, Italian made loafers are double Salvatore Ferragamo prices, but oh, so amazing. Although Seven New York has the shoes listed under men’s, the shaven leg above indicates that these Raf Simons beauties can be worn by women too!
I’m currently not in the market to buy these bad boys, but if any of you are, be sure to send us a photo!

SHOP: Raf Simons | Strap Sneaker, $


Pricy? Yes, but if I could get my hands on these crazy Raf Simons boots I would. Sure they’re $854, but you’ll probably be the only one around with them, and they look so cool.
Raf Simons Ugly Sci-Fi Shoes

I’m prob gonna get a lot of hate-mail, but this footwear by Raf Simons is the ugliest foot attire I’ve ever seen. The design is so ridiculous and unrealistic that it baffles me, especially when I have to assume that cleaning in between the crevices is a chore…

SPREAD UM: VMAN Summer 09 Edition





VMan is dedicated to pushing mens fashion forward and the Summer 09 edition is no different. It gives us a taste of what’s to come for fall and focuses on the designers committed to bringing menswear into the forefront – Rick Owens, Riccardo Tisci, Rei Kawakubo and Raf Simons, and more.
Terry Tsiolis creates an edgy portfolio celebrating fashion on the fringe and models Joseph Culp, Kyle Sanders, Julian Hennig, Andrey Ivanov, Devin Childers, Tomek Szczukiecki, Danny Schwarz, William Eustace, Mikus Lasmanis, Keith Browning & Ludwig P are all enlisted to add attitude.
DESIGNER TO KNOW: Hartmann

Hartmann Nordenholz was founded by Filip Fiska and Agnes Schorer in 2000, under the expert guidance of Helmut Lang, Marc Bohan and Jean-Charles de Castelbajac. Filip learned from the mastery of Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, Viktor&Rolf and Raf Simons, but I think the collection stands on its own, away from other influencers.
Oki-Ni Says Let’s Take It Back!

This feature will allow customers to take a look through past collections provided by some of the biggest designers in the game. The first designer is rumored to be Raf Simons, and his infamous hooded shirt from 2006 is going to be included in the archive.

SHOP: Raf Simons Embroidered Shoes via Colette; $1,090


I know we normally try to avoid items with huge price tags like this, but this is a must. These Raf Simons shoes are killer! Thet are a white basic lace up with layers of black embroidery that is heavy at the toe and fades towards the back. I am obsessed with these shoes, too bad I don’t have $1,090 to spend on them, but if you would like to buy them for me feel free, just click here.
