Raf Simons On…
12 years ago by
There is an interview with Raf Simons in this month’s Numéro that I really liked… Here is a quote…
Have you now mentally turned the page on Jil Sander?
With that last collection I tried above all to enlarge the minimalist vocabulary which had started to look like a bad parody of itself, like a caricature: white shirts, straight shapes which were deliberately neglecting female curves. I completely understand the beauty to be found there because with such austerity the shapes are always beautiful and timeless. But they aren’t new. A completely white interior for a house is very lovely, but it’s not new. With minimalism making a comeback, my challenge is to move away from that caricature. Take away everything that isn’t now. Maybe it can be fun, include movement, sensuality, sexuality, feminine curves…
-Raf Simons, in the November Numéro

That exactly was the concept of my collection! to show how we can get inspired by minimalsim without being plain… It is isnpired by minimalist artist Frank Stella and genius Madeleine Vionnet. It is all cut on the bias by the way…

and by the way thsi collection is contesting on the Vogue X Muuse competition and I would be so glad if you voted for me because I will be able toproduce it and sell it online, as well as get a feature in Vogue Italia. So it is a huge deal!

The man is a master of his trade, so creative yet pragmatic and cerebral. He is one of the people I would choose for my dream dinner party – 9 people I would love to have over for an an aperitif & a dinner. Garance, you’re on the list as well! :-) je t’embrasse

I love him, what he did for Jil Sander was simply marvelous and the first collections for Dior too looked fabulous.
