Raf Simons Fall/​Winter 2012 | Paris Fashion Week

Mod­ern Youth Move­ment–Rebelling against the sea­son, Raf Simons sent his men down the cat­walk in shorts. With hair swept in faces and over­size hats, the clas­sic suit­ing that has hit many a run­way this sea­son was turned on its side for a look deci­sively Simons. The double-​​breasted jacket, cut in char­coal felt delight­fully casual. Mas­ter­ing pro­por­tions, shirt­ing cut larger made the unex­pected lay­er­ing piece to a tie and shirt combo. Work­ing in mesh knits and tops, dressed in gra­di­ents, the Bel­gian designer cre­ated a col­lec­tion of youth and ease, mak­ing for a delight­ful fall showing.
