The 2016 model emerged with her face hidden by a scarf, and a large chain to hold her heavy backpack. Loose-fitting pants are paired with jackets or coats featuring studded diamonds or crosses. The fine knit sweater is worn ultra-short and finished in a patchwork of vintage fabrics, as if added at the last minute, the threads still dangling. It&#8217;s these artisanal finishes that make the difference. Unless it&#8217;s those few perfectly tailored black suits. It&#8217;s all about proportions. The waist becomes smaller while the pants seem to get bigger, the coat becomes an apron, covering like a protection, with graphic paint strokes, and Adidas Stan Smiths are de rigueur on the feet. The silhouette, like the attitude, seems at once outdated, vintage and already in the future, a way for Raf Simons to evoke the past (grandfathers&#8217; wardrobes?) and the young, self-confident, energetic, moving about in gangs. It&#8217;s a parallel that the Belgian designer, who is also artistic director of Christian Dior, has thought through, felt and brought out with dynamism and grace.<br \/>\n<iframe src=\"\/\/platformplayer.my.rightster.com\/api\/v1\/assembly.widget.getWidget?widgetId=player&amp;placementId=eba882d3-aa1b-46a5-ba30-c67744131236&amp;autoplay=1\" height=\"360\" width=\"640\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allowtransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As he did last season, Raf Simons invites us to a hangar on the outskirts of Paris for a standing show, with the catwalk high, almost at eye level, and&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":817430,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[52709],"tags":[65881,61823,61655,66093],"class_list":["post-2030063","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-thefashion","tag-in-paris","tag-mens-collection-2","tag-raf-simons","tag-spring-summer-2016"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2030063","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2030063"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2030063\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/817430"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2030063"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2030063"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2030063"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
