RUNWAY: Raf Simons SS16

Hooded models raced down the elevated runway at Raf Simons' striking Spring/Summer 2016 show today. What followed was a visually stunning collection loosely inspired by Mark Leckey's short film, Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore. Oversized pants were juxtaposed with tight and shrunken vests, exposing many a model's taut stomach and hip bone. There were cut outs and rivets on knits and coats made into geometric shapes like diamonds or one that resembled molecule. Meanwhile, bag handles were made from oversized chains but seemed light enough to throw over a shoulder. Everything in the collection was slightly askew, from those oversized pants that puddled on the floor to the almost lace-like pattern on knits to the half-shirt hoods; amongst the peculiarity of it all, including the blaring techno soundtrack, Simons' vision shined through those little cut out sweaters and the results are most definitely eye catching.
