Raf Simons' early shows captured a
youthful, subculture-informed zeitgeist in a way that has been much
imitated but never bettered. His time as Creative Director at Jil Sander
(and now Dior) saw Simons completely reinvigorating the mainline
fashion world whilst staying true to a unique set of sensibilities.
'Isolated Heroes' is the highly sought-after collaborative book between
Raf Simons and photographer David Sims - the latest addition to our
selection of rare books. Each image was taken in the summer of 1999 and
captures street-cast models that helped to define the Raf Simons
aesthetic. Initially conceived as a work in progress, the book has
become highly regarded as a body of work in its own right, bridging the
worlds of fashion, photography and art.
The Raf Simons AW13 collection will launch at LN-CC this July.
