The fall/winter 2014 collection from Raf Simons received some help from the designer's friend and fellow artist Sterling Ruby. The pair have just released the official campaign to accompany the upcoming collection.
The campaign, shot by Willy Vanderperre on Luca Lemaire in Antwerp, the lookbook shows off the best of the pair's designs. Much like Ruby's paintings, which have an unfinished or deconstructed feel, the combination of paint splattering and patchwork fabric strip details give the collection an overall DIY vibe. Both Simons and Ruby have acknowledged that an 80's punk ideology has affected their careers—not to mention this collection.
The two have mentioned in interviews that the design process was truly a combination of both minds, with "not one shirt, one shoe, one sock that is not from our mutual thinking process."
Start saving up—you're going to want every piece from the collection.
