For one last time, Raf Simons has put together his innovative designs with the durable backpack company, Eastpak, for their final fashion collaboration. After much success with the spring/summer 2008 collection, the two a back in action with their sturdy bags, made to resemble winter coats, for this winter.

Raf Simons Makes Jill Sander Wearable

I usually don’t like Jill Sander, but with Raf Simons being the new creative director, I think I really like the direction the collection is taking. Here are a few images of the coats for Fall from Jill Sander, and they are gorgeous. The tailoring is impeccable, and the style is very modern and trendy.

Thanks Highsnobette

Raf Simons Designs A Few Bags For Eastpak

Big suprise here Raf Simons did yet another collaboration, but this one I sort of like. The bags are simple, ellegant, and classy. However the one problem I do have with Raf Simons is why collaborate to do this? Take the glory for yourself. They are a fairly simple product manufacture them yourself and stop collaborating!

Thank you to our awesome friends at Selectism for the pics!

Sell Yo Mama For Raf Simons Sneaker

Oh yes m’loves, these shoes are just that D’lishuous, nice knowin ya Ma! I first found out about these futuristic gladiator shoes in one of my favorite periodicals, V-MAN (THE Bible to ye lesser ones). I was so excited because they instantly reminded me of the lego-like pumps from Balenciaga that so many people were pissin their panties for.

And I know what you’re saying, “these are from the S/S 08′ season”. Yes, but this is an art peice, it’s sooo outside of the box that it surpasses seasons. It’s something that stays in your wardrobe for years to come and when your son becomes a fashion obsessed “metro”, you can give them to him oooorrr make him wait till you die and pry them from your cold, narled corpse……..I choose the latter.

Raf Simons is a Belgian born designer with a back ground in industrial furniture design. He’s the type of artist that explores fashion in a deeper more emotional way through music and art, incorporating tradition and roots, attitudes and moods. His brand was one of the 1st to begin to experiment with slimmer, more feminine lines for menswear back in 95′. His clothes and perspective are masterful, his shoes however are worthy of armed robbery, I’m plottin’ one right now…..you should see my bedazzled stocking cap, you gotta be cute when you break federal laws.
