The Vibe for Fall 2010:Judging from his previous two collections, you might have thought that Raf Simons was becoming yet another suit-and-tie maker. Not to worry. The avant darling of the fashion world showed this season that he can still push it. Yes there were suits, but these fastened with metallic snaps; others were affixed with fuzzy velcro strips. He reimagined the traditional trench, in both fabric and shape. And he sent down the runway a down-filled cape that would've been at home in Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. So, yeah, relax: Raf is still Raf.
Backstory
Designer: Raf Simons
Founded: 1995, Antwerp, Belgium
Owned By: Private
History: After starting out by selling skinny black suits to a coterie of clued-in Europeans, the self-taught Simons brought his futuristic but wearable designs to a wider international audience. In 2005 he took on the additional role of creative director at Jil Sander; a lower-priced line, Raf by Raf Simons, was launched in 2006; and a 12-piece collaboration with Fred Perry debuted in 2008.
The Look: Superslim and supersleek—dark, angular, and fashion-forward
