End of an era: Raf Simons’ final collection is now available to buy

The Raf Simons Spring/Summer 23 collection marks the final season of the designer’s namesake brand – and it’s now available to shop. 

Since the first collection in 1995, the brand has stood as a forerunner of contemporary, forward-thinking and daring fashion. There’s no denying the brand’s influence on young designers, and future fashion direction is endless.

The designer’s final monumental collection was presented in London’s iconic venue, Printworks, in November 2022. It marked a fitting end to an era as models strutted down the halls of the soon-to-be-closed club. 

The looks in the collection centre around the Phillip Vanderberg collaboration, which sees the multidisciplinary artist’s scripture adorn a number of pieces. Works like Let’s Drink The Sea and Dance appear on sleeveless tops finished off with Simon’s now-signature logo tab. Meanwhile, phrases from the artist are plastered over tote bags and sleeveless dresses in elegant yet messy designs. 

Outside of the collaborative pieces, Simons classics like double-breasted coats and tailored button-downs make a welcome appearance, whilst polka dot mesh vests and shirts add a flavouring of punk aesthetics.

So, while this may sadly be the end for Simons’ brand, there’d be no better time than now to cop one of these garms and own a small piece of modern fashion history.
