Raf Simons

Founded by Raf Simons in 1995, Raf Simons built a legacy not only through forward-thinking tailoring and youth-driven narratives, but also through the enduring cultural weight of his early collections. Seasons such as “Black Palms,” “Riot! Riot! Riot!,” and “Consumed” have become touchstones of late-1990s and early-2000s menswear, fusing subculture references, graphic intensity, and razor-sharp silhouettes.

Over time, these archive pieces have achieved near-mythic status within fashion communities, with rare garments commanding significant resale prices and inspiring a new generation of designers and collectors. The scarcity, emotional storytelling, and precise cultural timing of those collections transformed them into artifacts of youth rebellion and artistic expression—cementing Raf Simons’ archive as one of the most sought-after and influential bodies of work in contemporary fashion history.
