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.

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.

Opening Ceremony is discounting winter essentials, including Raf Simons V-necks, Dunhill jackets and the store’s own line of sturdy leather boots, all up to 70% off.  (more…)

It seems that it’s been a little quiet from the Raf Simon’s camp recently, but here’s a quick update on the designer’s latest t-shirt styles for Spring. (more…)

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!

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!

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!

Just in time for the Fall/Winter 2009 season, avant garde designer, Raf Simons, is partnering with British minimalist, Fred Perry to take a spin on polos and knitwear. Until then, enjoy these grainy photos of a greasy haired model in a turtleneck sweater.

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!

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.

Get them at YOOX now!
