Raf Simons is taking a turn for the conservative with his Fall 2010 menswear collection. Suits, ties, button-ups and the ever-traditional trench coat were the stars of Simons’ show. Throw in a few sweater dresses, some corset-esque nylon attachments and a few over-slacks skirts, and you’ve got Simons’ creative elements for the season.

RUNWAY: Jil Sander Fall 2010 Menswear Collection
Raf Simons’ Jil Sander Fall 2010 collection might seem like a line of slim suits, bulky knit sweaters and trench coats, and well, it is. With a variety of architectural embellishments and designs on sweaters and coats, the minimalist collection might be basic and sleek but it certainly has a unique flare and shapely flare.

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!
CommentsSHOP 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!

CommentsSHOP 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!
GET IT AT: Seven New York

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.
