Raf Simons has announced that he will be reissuing 100 pieces from his brand’s archives, as a new collection to celebrate the label’s 25th anniversary this year.
Titled as ‘Redux’, the collection was photographed by Simons’ long-time photographer Willy Vanderperre. It features “KOLLAPS” hoodie from the brand’s SS02 collection that was inspired from 9/11 attacks, a shirt and tie from FW98, and a roll-neck from the designer’s debut collection.
The brand explained in a statement: ‘Raf Simons Archive Redux’ will be “both a creative and a commercial gesture, a chance to experience these garments for the first time. A nostalgia for the unknown.”
Raf Simons Archive Redux collection will be available from selected retailers in December 2020. The designer will be seen presenting SS21 collection later this year, which was postponed due to ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Take a look at the archival pieces below.
