RUNWAY: Raf Simons FW19

Raf Simons's Fall/Winter 2019 collection would've been closely watched regardless of what he showed on the runway since it is his first outing after a surprise and abrupt exit from Calvin Klein. Thankfully, what he offered was luscious. The main (or really, only) story here was the multitude of coats, starting off a bit safe - think military inspired but elongated - then the coats exploded with vibrant hues of magenta, lemon, and emerald! It was a coat-lover's dream and if one wasn't a big fan of coats before, we would wager that the various of iterations here - oversized, colorful, speckled with accessories - might change a few minds. Who cares if there was nary a shirt or tee seen? With one great coat, that's all one needs.
