COVERAGE

After his debut at Jil Sander, Raf Simons made it his mission to demonstrate the ambition he had retained to create clothes that are his own. His 2006 – 2007 Autumn Winter collection showed just that. While synth-pop and underground techno tracks played in the background a convoy of models embellished in slim trousers and towering tops sauntered the runway. There was a clear emphasis on the vivacious stature of his outerwear. Focused on a palette of black, white, and gray, these new wave garments included slick-single button suits, intricate double-layered down jackets, and coats adorned by exuberant Dracula-esque collars. Oversized silhouettes helped frame the faces of models, in essence highlighting their youth, a common motif in Simons’ work. Having redefined contemporary menswear, Simons was looking to obtain cult status. La Defence is recognized by many as the end of Raf’s archive era.
