Why am I alive.
Also what the fuck is up with this timer it's counting upwards, 7:30 PM for whom?

>>8408183
which one? Did you ask her where she recognises it from?

>>8408191
It's counting upwards because that's how much the show is late. The time (7:30) is when it should have started your time.

>>8408170
I've spoken to a few girls who study fashion marketing actually. They never know shit.

the collection is a bunch of platform sole crocs and givenchycore tshirts

>>8408251

>>8408234

And filename + the fact that he knows what the collection looks like implies that hes backstage or knows someone who is

>>8408241
>arena homme+ interview
>Raf says the Sterling colab definitely won't happen again in the next few years
>Raf says he's sick of suits
>SS2015 collection is Sterling Ruby collab suits

>>8408251
The burgundy sweater is GOAT.

>>8408264

>>8408306
>newfag
>implying liking a certain sweater makes you new

Nice. Epic. I like it.

>>8408306
>Nowfashion needs like 30 mins usually to update photos

>>8408303
At nowfashion? Probably yes, I don't use it.

Trying to get a look at some new shoes.

>>8408328

>>8408328
Oeh

3M

>>8408331
>>8408334
Yo what's up.

>>8408316

You're fucking retarded if you think they can livestream all the shows all the time

And obviously you haven't been following fashion or nowfashion for a long time cuz if u id ud know theyre always at least 30 mins late

Also the shows themselves start late alot of the time

Nowfashion isnt some kind of magical fashion platform with 100% instant results you newfags theyre just the only ones that get the images out there the fastest

Everytime theres a new collection thread all these fuccbois whining hur dur its late obviously never used nowfashiom before

nowfashion started

>>8408309
>white people @ footlocker

Oh my fuck.

>>8406760
http://nowfashion.com/raf-simons-menswear-spring-summer-2015-paris-9065?photo=441045

i already have these shoes :/

Actual talk about the collection

Looks like basic stuff with Raf Sterling stamped all over it, not as exciting as last season where the clothing was actually pretty interesting apart from the graphics

Lots of early raf vibes , those parkas with graphics on the back especially, maybe theyll become the new hyped up grail pieces in the future

Couldnt care less about collection pics cuz alot of the sht is on the back which most websites never show

I like the shirt with RS SR and flowers on it but not completely sold on any piece yet

>>8408367

If i was Raf id cash in and make monochrome colors of his sneakers already shit would sell like hot cakes

>>8408330
:^)

it's like he threw together a bunch of old pieces that never made it to the runway

shittiest raf collection in a while imo

>>8408397
>>8408023
I think I know Rafs inspiration

>>8408406
just dip dye your own whats stopping you? :^)

>>8408406
i always liked the green/black one better. glad i bought it instead

>Raf Adiletten

my fuckign sides

>>8408418
its a close 2nd. Underrated

Those fucking stan smiths.

holy shit worst raf collection in ages

this fucking sucks major 12 inch dicks. It looks like he blew his load on the Sterling collab (which was one of his best collections ever obviously).

Looks like he went with an R logo instead of the stripes.
Waiting to see these in black.

How much will >>8408367 cost?

>>8408413

All the shit is on the back of the clothing

From the front they look boring as hell

Graphics kind of interesting but it would take Japanese level creativity to really rock it in an outfit

Also

>RS SR
>Patch of Raf and Sterling's faces below that

We have hit critical mass guys

>>8408422
Supreme blown the fuck out

Absolutely disgusting.

>>8408452
is that young Raf?

>>8408444
goddamn pls i need u

>>8408455
By the looks of it yeah.

>>8408446
i saw the backs, and it's awful and in bad taste and tacked on

extremely disappointed, going to go binge eat tubs of ice cream

That was unexpected.

>>8408464
>>8408469
Rafmind.

>>8408466
Not too good.

>>8408469
ok raf we get it, you like stan smiths

>>8408444

Those have been around since last season

And to answer your question those have also been around since last season for around 500 retail so probably around that

>>8408464
>>8408469
pls be in london ;-;

>>8408469
>dat shirt
>dem Stans

based Raf. too bad the collection is shit

>>8408464
gonna break his ankle standing like that

>>8408477
This is fucking retarded. It's like he took magazine clippings, printed them on cloth and shittily sowed them to a jacket.

Oh wait, that's exactly what he did.

Raf confirmed for worst designer of all time

>>8408477
>inb4 the collection is about memories of youth or some shit and this is why it's all rehash

>>8408503
Yeah I wish I could enjoy it but this seems like something an amateur art student would do.
Only thing I'm really liking is the shoes, and even then they're not /that/ great.

Graphics look very tumblr esque which makes sense, maybe in 10 years time they will be praised

I wonder if people thought Raf's early work with graphics was ugly at the time / had similar reaction that we have atm to this collection

I think Ervell did the jap influences better last year

Thirst for platforms doe
They adirafs?

>>8408556
his military infusions r dope too

>>8408579
tumblr says so in the descriptions, but i'm not sure..

>>8408452
Don't bullshit me that's not real. There's a fucking internet meme image on the back. Raf should retire he's lost passion.

>>8408517
AKA excuses he made up si he could rehash.

>>8408744
It's real, go on nowfashion on close-ups of the collection.
I know it hurts man, but which meme are you talking about?

Really liked the double-breasted "row of buttons" styles a lot. The cropped, very sculpted shouldered jackets were also nice.

>>8408452
>nono

>>8408758
It doesn't hurt because I was here when his Gardener's World collection of last season was shown. Also it's hard to see on mobile but the pic next to Raf on the right lioks like that meme I forget the name.

>>8408452
"supreme riot" logo similarity

what's the name of the typeface?

>>8408452
"supreme riot" logo similarity

what's the name of the typeface?


is this supposed to be a flashback sequence/montage only on printed graphic?

Best Raf Simons collection in years

>>8408778
You mean this one? I thought it looked really cool

>>8408815
>better than last season
>better than ss14
>better than fw13
>better than fw12

lawl

>>8408829

Best Raf Simons collection in years

Was kinda mediocre from my point of view, I'm hoping Julius saves the day.

>>8408826

All of them. The simple change in notion placement has a pretty pronounced effect on how the garment looks, which is nice.

>>8408718

>>8408718
There is no platform, look at the mesh, the foot sits inside the 'platform'.

>>8408477
>>8408452
>>8408718
where are you guys getting these pics?

>>8409224
Nowfashion fuck don't you read thread

>>8409224
if you're on the nowfashion page, check the "closeups" tab on the gallery of fits

You guys are such fuccbois omg. Posting all the worst pictures. Just went on NowFashion and most of the Raf collection looks good (almost all of it is good from the front)... Just some pieces are weird from the back, the spaceman image is cool though... FUCK the shoes.

I guess the whole walk can't be re-watched yet on some video portal?

>raf show is completely trash
>/fa/ reacts appropriately
>watch them do a complete 360 when almost all of it makes it to sale

It never ends

>>8409726
been shit for awhile now
why raf
why

>>8409748
do you have a zip of a lot of his older shows?

>>8406760
Is it just me or raf looks like young trent reznor? I mean cmon you could swap their faces and there wouldnt be any change like in hermiona/dawkins meme.

Btw Im a grill ;^)

>>8409748

>>8408895

>>8411194

>>8411093
Leave this board. You are a fucking shitposting "grill"

All of the stuff on back all tacked on like that were probably the mood boards for the pieces

Seeing parts of >>8408023 in this lmao

he alway nose mn raf aly no

By Tim Blanks

Every creative act starts with a memory. Artists thrive on the recalled image, feeling, taste, scent. If they're not embracing memory, they're consciously reacting against it. But why bother? There is no escape from the past. It's a beautiful thing, and Raf Simons proved that tonight. On the back of most of the coats and jackets in his collection were sailor collars collaged with fragments of his personal history—the actual and the imagined. "Like mood boards you'd pin your favorite images to," he said. Friends, family, a fluffy kitty, a roller coaster, Mt. Fuji painted by Hokusai, a koi pond, a shark, a swimmer in peril, an astronaut…it seemed furiously random until Simons parsed the images.

Those old photos were of his parents courting fifty-five years ago. The roller coaster, the one he rode with his friends Olivier Rizzo and Willy Vanderperre decades ago. The Japanese influence was his thank-you to the first retailers who ever supported him. The shark was Jaws and Simons' love of horror movies; the swimmer in peril was danger; the astronaut was isolation…surely you've composed a psychological profile by now. In the middle of it all, an old passport photo, Simons in a Superman T-shirt. That shirt was part of Rizzo's graduate collection from Antwerp's Royal Academy of Fine Arts, the Central Saint Martins in this story. As Rizzo was telling the tale backstage, Simons appeared with the very same T-shirt and gave it back to him, twenty-five years later. Cue tears.

>>8411482
It was that kind of night. The febrile atmosphere was established by the soundtrack—Mica Levi's ravishingly ominous music for Jonathan Glazer's film Under the Skin—and the lighting, red for danger, green for nature. Combined, they created the white light that, according to show producer Thierry Dreyfus, illuminated horror movies in the seventies. It had a dislocating effect, throwing much of the presentation into shadow, so the boys in their dark suits looked like Men in Black, moving eerily through the throng. Oh, yes, forgot to mention, the audience was standing, because, said Simons, "you perceive things differently when you're upright."

As far as he was concerned, what he did was the only possible reaction to the experience of working with artist Sterling Ruby on the Fall collection. That was such a sweet surrender that Simons said, "I could only go deep into myself to find another challenge." He's a supremely organized individual, but maybe Ruby left him with an appetite for chaos. "It's interesting to let go," he agreed.

Mr. and Mrs. Simons, whose courtship had been incorporated into their son's collection, were backstage for the whole show, the first time they'd actually experienced the mechanics of Raf's profession. His mom was visibly moved. His dad wanted to get back to watching soccer. France playing in the World Cup. Memories are made of this.

>>8408191
Raf Simons is poorman's knoch
literally

Once I found out the context behind the random mood board kinda style for the prints, it made the show ultimately more satisfying for me, atleast, there was definitely some cool pieces in here, but it was nice to see such a personal collection coming from raf. The Standing was definitely a nice touch though.

>>8411586
please explain

>>8406760
ehhh.

I'm just looking to rick's new stuff.

Don't care for raf anymore.

>>8411594
dont hanson me m8

nah, from a thematic standpoint I dug the show, from a straight up standpoint, I thought it was okay. kinda like when people say J Dilla's Donuts is sad to listen to. It's only because they know about the context behind it.

>>8411586

Yeah I had the same reaction when I read the review.

>>8411605
Glad you got the Pauline reference, heh

What was personal about the collection to Raf though? Why was the standing symbolic/ part of the atmosphere/ whatever?

>>8411631
A lot of the print based stuff like a lot of the japanese influenced stuff is an homage/thank you to the first retailer that stocked him, the rollercoaster is a memory of old friendship, as well as a lot of the images being from his parents. Youth & Nostalgia made this collection kinda touching for me. I found the Micachu soundtrack, lighting & standing part kinda related to old horror films maybe? the general atmosphere was unique though, which was nice.
