A fashion genius straight out of industrial design, Raf Simons is known for his work with Jil Sander, Dior and his own menswear label. The latter includes his fourth collaboration with urban bag brand Eastpak.
Ever more modern and innovative, Raf Simons this time signs a collection that echoes his own line for autumn/winter 2013. With silk jacquards and satin straps, it’s a continuation of his previous creations, which play on the blurring of the boundary between masculine and feminine without falling into the grotesque. Good taste and technique are important notions for Raf, whether in his own collections or in this collaboration.
Simplicity is part of the Belgian designer’s DNA, and this is evident in this range of bags. The original touch is that these were worn on the arm during the show, like briefcases, rather than on the shoulder, a detail that demonstrates Raf Simons’ versatility.
Available from June 2013 (retail price: €180)
