Raf Simons and photographer Willy Vanderperre go way back.
For the past 20 years, the Belgian creatives and longtime friends have worked together on a series of projects—including the visuals for the Sterling Ruby collaborative collection as well as a retrospective published in 032c magazine. So it should come as no surprise that Simons enlisted Vanderperre to shoot the Spring/Summer 2016 campaign for his eponymous label.
According to Highsnobiety, the campaign was styled by Olivier Rizzo, and features a solid mix of colored and black-and-white photos. The setting is a secluded park that lends a creepy yet youthful vibe to the imagery, which is underscored by several hooded figures throughout.
Take a look at the new campaign below. To see what Simons has in store for the upcoming season, click here.
