SS2003 Consumed Shirt

“Today’s living environment is about consuming as well as being consumed; some suggest this could lead to an apocalyptic end, while others, particularly younger generations, take this reality as their cue to create new, more viable and flexible personas.” – Raf Simons Show Notes.

Probably one of the most iconic pieces from Raf Simons — The “Consumed” Button Up in white on black as displayed on the runway. This piece deserves some explanation especially as there’s little of it despite the interest surrounding it today. The button up, to bluntly put it, graphically exemplifies “Consumed”, the entire season and its creative foundations, as the above show note statement suggests. More so it resembles the “tattooed” model also carrying similar corporate graphics which was a strong highlight for Raf’s show. And as with all of Raf’s work, inspired and continues to inspire Men’s fashion/youth amongst creators, enthusiasts and the like. Ashley Bickerton’s work was also featured in the 2003 Consumed season as well.

Matte and coated fabric. Sunlight does not shine through this. The graphics are also matted and coated and have a distinct texture to them. Collegiate button down collar with signature Raf Simons high waisted, untuckable bottom hem. 1/2 length sleeves.
