Raf Simons spring 2021

 It’s his own youth that interests him. “I don’t want to show clothes, I want to show my attitude, my past, present, and future. I use memories and future visions and try to place them in today’s world.”

 The press release for his teen dream collection lists the films that inspired him, many of which he has cited before, from Alien and Alice in Wonderland to Picnic at Hanging Rock and A Nightmare on Elm Street.

These words from his mouth and his press release, the poor demented faux intellectual who now joins the ranks and Maria Grazia Meatball and, of course, the Einstein of fashion ... Miuccia.  Slap those slogans, badges and picture’s on clothes and send out YOUR message because that’s what young people pay thousands for … to be your walking billboards and reflections of one’s twisted youth.

For all his theoretical talent and intellects did it occur to him that this was to be a spring collection and that some of the color combinations ( salmon and green  being one of my faves)  are nausea inducing aside from that little bit of reality which is called sales and when the fuck are you wearing these clothes in the near future or ever for that matter… but no matter as long as your name is on the label. The clothes look a bit  Robin Hood and maid Marion  circa 2099... if not a  tad funereal!

 For all the hype that he receives I would like to know who can point out the revolutionary talents that he supposedly possesses or for that matter ONE single original idea! …. Certainly, wasn’t the casting!

His claim to fame as far as I can tell is that he is the one designer who practically singlehandedly brought down an American brand that was a juggernaut of American fashion…  boy Raf… how I envy your hubris and delusion in thinking that you bring anything to this table we call fashion!
