hnnnng Imagine wearing that knit

>>9974439
nice

>>9974452
imagine being a model for late90s/early00s Raf

>>9974126
Who the fuck is this faggot "trendsetter". Why does he deserve a share?

>>9974505
just another neo-raf fan with a social media account

bump for raf

what are these hood figures all about? is there a set to these pictures? very interested..

>>9975004
They're lookbook shots from what is probably Raf's most famous collection, "Woe on those who spit on the fear generation…. The wind will blow it back," from S/S 2002.

A major inspiration was youth in revolt, specifically riots. Hoods and shirts wrapped around the faces were used to evoke the makeshift teargas protection worn by rioters. The runway show featured the models walking a darkened path holding flares.

$105 USD looks like a pretty good deal, I'd jump on it quickly

>>9975901
Why is it $105 in the US and £185 in the UK?

>>9975941
VAT tax but other than that, no idea. I've been buying from them for a few years and never noticed a sale this drastic.
I bought in AUD so it was on par with the USD pricing - super cheap. But yeah when I changed it to UK shipping and pricing, the price goes up.

>>9974345
>>9975106
Exactly what i thought, fucking lel. If somebody shopped the pike in the pic it would be perfect

>neo raf

not even once

>>9974505
One of the more important people involved in youth fashion, he's part of the wave of instagram-famous kids to come up yet he's kind of transcended that

Most late teens who are into fashion know who he is whether it's because of stories of steeling clothes or withdrawing all the money in his bank account to buy a vintage raf sweat from a fan.

I'm not saying i'm a fan but it's wrong to say he doesn't have influence

>>9977017
SS03 love

>>9975678
fucking cop that, that's beautiful.

>>9974126
>>9977037
>muh youth fashun
it's his fault I'm seeing kids on the subway with head to toe supreme and bape, never seen him rep a Raf garment

>>9975820
Please friends save your money these are inferior raf sweatshirts

Images from FW05

>>9977037
Wait who is this black kid?

>>9977785
asap rocky

So the consensus here is Raf>Rick, right? I acknowledge Rick is a great designer but for fucks sake I really don't like his stuff. Goth ninja is so played out

>>9977809
it's just a preference man, I understand if people prefer Rick and lets remember that they're both legends in their own right

>>9977819
Thought this jacket look familliar
RIP Richey Edwards

>>9977856
do you think he got it personally from Raf? or had it special made for him? It's been sold out for so long, this guy can probably get his hands on anything

>>9977881
He rented it from David casavant

>>9974439
any more?

more like naff simons 👌

>>9974126
literally who cares

>you will never meet Raf and Natty backstage
;_;

i like these splatter jackets Raf's been wearing all year

>>9978160
The blue one's better

>>9977751
hes literally wearing 2 in that picture..

>>9977767
How are they inferior?

>>9978287
>raf by raf
>rafdidas

nah

does anyone else think conceptually ss04 stands out like a sore thumb

>>9977017
Oh god my bomber. fuck I'd personally offer half of my soul and existence to satan himself just to own it. please.
>>9977183
no girl or sex makes my dill firmer than this specific raf season.

>>9978735
early raf is so much better. you'll just look like a typical new-fashion pre-teen wearing that. it'd be a cool concept for summer but only if you're a maximum-ly edgy emo fag that wears all black sweaters during scorching weather.

>>9978831
this is one of my favourite

>>9974126
He cant wear it properly so it doesn't matter, all his fits are fuking poo. Like this kid is actually the supreme box logo t shirt of people. Yeezus only put him on that faux runway show cause he was hyped up like a fucking box logo tee.

where can i buy old raf?

>>9978938
ebay, rakuten, grailed, yahoo japan, consignment stores

>>9974439
Hey, thanks for posting this song. I've been listening to it on repeat for about an hour.

>>9978938
From my closet. Srsly though rak and y!jp are the best places to cop. Specifically y!jp

>>9978750
Thematically yeah, but the concepts are further explored in Waves, and there are very much a lot traditional Raf pieces in there with more of a 'spiritual' twist.

>>9978952
noproblem, raf took influence from belgian wave music

>>9974113
Does anybody remember what was the last year where the season was written on the tags? Iirc it was because of a problem with the used market or something

Is there any places to cop cheap (used) Raf Simons garms in New York?
I only ask because I think someone might have mentioned one in a thread a while back and I'm planning a trip to New York very soon.

>>9977785
ian connor

So what was the year in which Raf went to shit to those who dislike new Raf? Just as a general consensus since I'm not a fan of the new stuff either

>>9979410
around 07-08

he didn't go to shit, it's just a major step down from the golden years. you could say he's just uninspired now, lost his visionary roots, or maybe he doesn't know what to do when all eyes are on him, a lot of the guys who shit on his recent stuff only hate it because he's a really mainstream designer now, even normies know who he is

anyone have any more editorials/reading material

So what inspires him? What's the message behind the prints? I feel like there's tons to unveil

>>9979472
prints are largely inspired by music, artistic movements and subculture
might be able to get more specific if you have something in particular in mind

>>9981625
too niche and nowhere near me

>>9978954
What should I be searching on y!j to find a Raf Hoodie? I'm in need of a hoodie, pref. a pullover, but not too sure what to search. Using translate gives 'Paka' which only yields 15 results

>>9980346
2009 or 2010 were the last years with dates on the tag.

Just lost bidding for this on eBay. Did I fuck up or dodge a bullet?

>>9982618
dodged a bullet

its problematic that you thought that was worth bidding on at all

>>9982632
hey pig, why dont you rent your raf pieces out to rich niggas?

>>9982651
i dont live in new york

>>9982618
wow that's gorgeous

thank you based raf, i wish i had seen this earlier. how much did it go for?

>>9979422
you guys really overestimate the amount of people that know about Raf


like 90% of people i speak to daily have absolutely no idea, the only people i know who arent interested in fashion only know who he is due to A$AP Rocky

>>9982680

$137.50

>>9982632

:)

I like the colors.

>>9982730
fuuuuuuuuck that's a steal


is it medium? please say it wasnt medium

I know fw15 is gonna have those all whites with the sawtooth sole... but it looks like he's not releasing the og's any time soon

Raf game is strong

>>9982827

>>9974126
i lve raf simons he's a god

>>9978760
New raf is better than early raf.

>>9978760
I love the old collections, but shit like pic related is beautiful too

>>9978760
this stuff is the pinnacle of modern menswear

it looks nothing like "maximum-ly edgy emo fag," please don't project :-)

>>9984779
>New raf is better than early raf.
is this b8? just stop, I have no hatred towards new Raf but to say it's better than his prime work is preposterous. Either your just googly eyed from the colors or his early stuff is 2deep4u, maybe both.

>>9984854
Why did you turn so defensive

We just have different opinions?

>>9984863
because you passed it off as a statement in the first post and it's an absurd opinion otherwise, it took me by shock.

not trying to be a dick or anything but your only supporting argument was "shit like pic related is beautiful too", i'm just under the impression you don't know what your talking about

why do youth(fashion) influncers share the same look and aesthetic cues,even their fans want to look like them.
groce

>youtube.com/watch?v=xELz-DFEIwU

>>9984897
lol why did you take that guy's personal opinion as objective assesment

>>9984897
Do you think that Raf believes he's past his prime?

>>9984897
Fair enough, I haven't looked enough into Raf's early work. I'm aware that what he did at the time was revolutionary, and it certainly does have a lot of artistic merit.

But I personally like what Raf Simons is doing today more :)

>>9984918

He clearly has hit his stride at Dior. The house signatures are there, but nobody would ever confuse his Dior for Galliano's or Bohan's or Saint Laurent's Dior. He's made it his own and I his comfort shows in the work.

>>9984901
because believe it or not, people can't think for themselves

>>9984918
Yeah, he admitted he's bored with fashion, past innovation no doubt. He'll still do great in haute couture though, I feel like he's going to put most of his present and future efforts on Dior or whomever hires him next. Still a living legend and I have utmost respect for him no matter what.

“Too much gets smashed in people's faces. Fashion is now pop, where it used to be a niche. It moves with such speed. Sometimes it leads to a lack of depth. The mystique is gone. Now being a fashion designer is like becoming a lawyer [...] Fashion is overtly about commerce.”

this is the best thread /fa/ has had in a while, don't let it die

Is it true that Hedi Slimane hates Raf?

>>9986752
no, he hates a fashion "critic" who loves raf

Fucking cathy she came on during dior and I, why does she hate skellies so much?

i know there is plenty of fake rafdidas around, but will i have problems with fake raf archive tops (knits, jackets)?

>>9986954
unlikely, individual pieces aren't hyped enough and aren't easy enough to replicate convincingly

>>9986881
what a baby, Raf would never react in such a childish way

>>9988592
this collection makes me erect, it turns me on sexually

>>9988592
this isn't raf
