SS09 Christopher Wool Leonard Cohen Towel

Raf Simons SS09 “Christopher Wool” Typographic 72″ x 38″ Towel. Raf starts the drawing board with a foundation of an artist’s ethos once again. The low key SS09 collection featured typographic designs on vests, shirts, pullovers with American artist “Christopher Wool”-like art. Some of the designs featured embroidery with unfinished hems and strings falling from the fabric. Assuming from the runway, Raf seems to be taken by Christopher Wool’s impactful word play such as his piece “Apocalypse Now” which stated “Sell the house. Sell the Car. Sell the kids.”. Raf conjoined the style and simply applied youthful axioms, motifs, lyrics and mottos blown up on garments. From this collection came out a limited quantity of towels in 3 styles. This model features the words “There Is a Crack in Everything, That’s How the Light Gets In” which are lyrics from celebrated artist Leonard Cohen’s “Anthem”.

7/10 condition. Some pulling and scruffs on towel, but overall displayable condition.
