Some of Rafs worst work. That's alright, some retard will still buy it for twice what you paid.

>>9511191

i am new to designer clothing i like acne mostly so i appreciate the help

>>9511161
Do you know if there are any sales of RS/SR still going on? I missed black 'abus lang' jeans going for dirt cheap and I'm mad.

>>9511198

>>9511094
>this thread
It's like when guys get rejected and go "that's ok she was ugly anyways"

even if u don't like the piece it's pretty iconic and don't act like u could afford it but just chose not to, ud be all over it if u could

>>9511192
Not 'closer', lmao.

>i got this jacket cause it got lot of reblog on tumbler xd
embarrassing

>>9511213
i think closer is his best collection
thats what i think

>>9511221
That's because you're a drone, like most Raf fanboys.

>>9511219
ironic ex dees are soooo 2013

:)

>>9511222
whats your favorite lets open a dialogue

>>9511225
Virginia Creeper tbh, it's his most inspired collection.

>>9511229
i like virginia creeper.

id like to know your perspective on what makes it inspired.

>>9511236

>>9511236
I could give you the whole shtick about the "duality of nature" or whatever, but I think you're a fairly intelligent guy, so I'll save that for somebody else. It's beautiful, like really beautiful. Like his magnum opus. Get it?

>>9511242
Hey, dude. I'm eagerly awaiting your response? What's holding you up? You must be writing a lot.

>>9511242
i like it too, top 5 easily.

i think its a bit one dimensional to be his magnum opus, conceptually its very strong but the clothes themselves are very inconsistent, which is not unusual for raf simons but compared to aw03, ss04, ss01 its fall behind.

closer is the the perfect synthesis of rafs conceptual brilliance and actual craftsmanship.

Nice m8

>>9511255
I actually like 'closer' I was taking the shit out of you because you piss me off. To me VC is embodiment of Raf's aesthetic, the quality is iffy at times. I got my hands on one piece with absolutely atrocious stitching, but conceptually it's perfect.

>>9511259

this is some bullshit
raf is a hack

>>9511267
Raf didn't write that you retard.

>>9511267
the idea of getting lost in the woods doesn't terrify you?

>>9511270
that does in no way change the fact that he's a hack

>>9511271
it's the woods.
what are the trees gonna do, eat me?
also it's 2015 people don't get lost in the woods anymore the dark ages are over

>>9511271
4chan posters fear nothing, retard

>>9511094
People actually want this?

>>9511272
Uhh, it actually does? Do you mind articulating a bit for me? What in your mind makes Raf a hack in the context of VC?

>>9511262
its interesting that you used the phrase 'embodiment of rafs aesthetic' in description of VC because i feel that much more aptly describes closer.

VC has little to no suitwear and almost entirely baggy/lose fitting outerwear which is representative of a key component of the raf aesthetic, but it by no means encapsulates it fully.

raf simons first became known to due his slim fitting suit wear and tailoring, high cut armholes, slim shouldered jackets and slim pants. obviously his work also incorporated a lot of baggier designs and silhouettes, but i dont think those are his defining designs.

closer represents a microcosmic realisation of all rafs best aspects.

it has the impeccable suit wear + modern slim tailoring, often combined in the same looks with loose imposing outerwear and pants.

closer combines the silhouettes and patterns with his culture concept injection that he was known for and i think closer is a much better exemplification of everything raf simons. it runs the complete gauntlet from tailoring to streetwear and does it perfectly.

not only that but the pieces themselves in closer are of impeccable quality.

What the fuck is the point of this thread?
You bought something to resell? Wow, so impressive.
Good luck making any profit at all on that.
No one here gives a fuck about you or what you do.

New Order is a shitty mainstream band though.

Even H&M produced t-shirts with their logo.

That parka is literally H&M tier.

Key word, first became known. Raf like most people is not omniscient he has never been aware of the trajectory that he will take as designer. That being said VC combines the most iconic of Raf's aesthetics and the youthful rebellious but at the same time dark spirit that he has being trying to capture his entire career. The perfect blend.

Wow, fuk, put in my place for questioning le happy raf merchant. "bow down to your new god because I bought something to re-sell"? You are all fucking retards

>>9511331
>Key word, first became known.
hes never abandoned his tailoring or suiting, aw03, ss04, aw05, aw06 + the modern era all feature suiting and tailoring.

vc certainly has the darker, sinister subtext that he often explored, especially in the use of the military hats+anoraks(pic related) the obvious reference being to the german Wehrmacht uniforms. however i think ss02 does a much better job of realising his reverence for the more minacious societal undercurrents that fascinated him. obviously they're two different conceptualizations of this exportation(man vs nature/rebellion, protest, alienation)

>>9511351
fucking dweeb loser lol

lmao good luck making a penny on your resale retard

What's really funny is buying a memecoat for well over $3000 and hoping to make any kind of worthwhile profit

No, of course not. I just don't think It's part of his iconic look. He's cultivated an image and to me VC embodies it. >>9511363
>r i think ss02 does a much better job of realising his reverence for the more minacious societal undercurrents that fascinated him.
You really thinks so? I see VC as doing a much better job pushing the envelope so to speak.

I forgot to address this
>>9511285
>not only that but the pieces themselves in closer are of impeccable quality.
I'm perfectly willing to concede that the quality of 'closer' is fantastic.

>>9511383
You're an idiot.. It's an important piece of clothing. Collectors will pay twice that.

>>9511388
>will
Ohhhh ok my bad

>You really thinks so? I see VC as doing a much better job pushing the envelope so to speak.

i dont think anything raf has done will ever be as iconic or awe-inspiring as ss02. no doubt VC was quite the spectacle as well given its setting + the looks but ss02 was, and still is, a fashion tour de force.

the use of the head wraps, the white/red monochrome fits in unison with the flares was like nothing menswear had seen. lauding ss02 is a cliche at this point, but i dont think that makes praise/reverence any less valid.

idk if you've seen the video for ss02 but it is mandatory for understanding the impact it had.

when i sell this for 4-5k USD ill make a thread just for you ok wild bill.

>>9511403
here she is

>>9511403
Yes, of course I have. VC will forever be my favorite because it was what brought Raf to my attention at the young age of 13. It was something that most menswear shows weren't in the 2000s. It was dark, visceral, atmospheric. I think because of that I will always favor it, even if it's slightly irrational.

>>9511094

This gave me shivers.

How much do you actually want for it?

>>9511413
i agree with the above, i actually love VC a lot, its definitely in my top 5, his entire run from aw01 through to aw05 is sublime.

It's just like the art world
Bunch of rich nerds who think they're buying taste but they're really buying yesterdays news neatly repackaged
