FW04 “Waves” Paisley Hoodie in Grey
Raf Simons FW2004-2005 Paisley Hoodie from "Waves". Iconic collection which was built around this excerpt from Spanish Philosopher Ortega Y Gasset: Life is, in itself and forever, shipwreck. To be shipwrecked is not to drown. The poor human being, feeling himself sinking into the abyss, moves his arms to keep afloat. This movement of the arms is culture—a swimming stroke. For this season Raf printed this passage on tags, sweaters, jackets and so on. This is also carefully printed along the printed paisley design for this piece. Loose hood, cotton drawstrings and loose/wide fit. Raf's fabrics tend to deteriorate and age gracefully. 7.5/10 condition. Size 52 Fits an L-XL$870 -

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. 8/10 condition. Size 48, fits a slim M.$1,495 -

"To The Archives No Longer Relevant" Raf Simons Shirt from FW15. This is the 20th season for Raf Simons and he initially sought to pay a tribute to his revered past collections but he and his team simply didn't feel that it was "relevant" to do anything old, instead opted to keep doing something new.
