Using last season’s suiting as a reference point for spring 2010, this season, Raf Simons focuses on clean minimalist design to reinterpret the jacket’s silhouette. Beginning with a basic suit form, Simons’ collection sees the gradual progression of its reincarnation. Introducing secondary colors, the collection’s jackets and coats are often cut off at the shoulders. Alternatively, belting as a menswear trend becomes a reality with many of Simons’ blazers being accompanied by a built in belt–providing for a narrow finish. Accenting the collection’s predominate focus on suiting are peculiar sheer snake adorned tops that are practically invisible. Otherwise reflecting a stern attitude is the incorporation of short sleeved tops dressed in gray, navy and brown. Upstaged by Simons’ suiting, the collection’s tops are a reminder to place importance on the integral parts of a wardrobe–in this case the jacket and coat.

The best! So well formed and wearable!
One of the best so far. I like a lot how the silhouette is redefined!
I like this a lot in comparison to his previous collections. A lot of his previous work with shape came across as forced to me. This is simple, relaxed, clean and flawless–no gimmicks. I love it.
Yes, well shaped and colored, but where is the famous touch of aristocratic punk that forces me to look thrice? Or am I looking at it? The contrasting colored belted suits are very nice, the snake shirts good for magazine shoots?
