Raf Simons' Legacy Lives On: Rare Garments and Archive Pieces Up for Grabs at Dover Street Market Ginza
Three years after Belgian designer Raf Simons closed his eponymous label, a unique opportunity awaits fashion enthusiasts in Tokyo. From December 29th to January 18th, Dover Street Market Ginza will host a three-week sale featuring leftover stock and rare archival garments from the Raf Simons brand. This is a rare chance to own a piece of fashion history, as the designer's influence on the industry is undeniable.
The sale will showcase a carefully curated selection of products, with new pieces introduced each week. Simons, who is also co-creative director of Prada, will be present at the shop on the first day to sign pieces, adding a personal touch to the experience. But it's not just about the clothes; the sale includes a treasure trove of archival objects, such as early invitations and VHS tapes of the brand's iconic shows.
For those who appreciate the brand's rich history, there will be photographs, posters, and books spanning almost three decades. This sale is a testament to Simons' enduring impact on fashion, as his groundbreaking menswear helped popularize the skinny silhouette and brought youth culture to the forefront. Despite the brand's relatively small size, its influence was immense, propelling Simons to the top of the fashion industry and landing him prestigious jobs at Jil Sander, Dior, and Calvin Klein.
