Raf Simons Fall/Winter 2020
by Chidozie Obasi
















































It appears relatively ubiquitous when the greatest catwalks have the capacity to disperse perspectives and foster distinctiveness. And to stick on those conjectural terms, the latest collection of Raf Simons had a moving, emotive connotation because the people he portrayed epitomize an abduction into something different, clinging an intriguing narrative of scattering. Emerging from a gleamingly-toned yellow tunnel into a minimal-like yellow terrain were several individuals who gathered their hands in muffs, a rather obsolete accessory I must say. Though, positioned front-and-center, they conveyed a key piece of information about these people, the Solar Youth. Think it positive, peculiar, or purely incongruous: they’re keen not to disclose their identity. Could this symbolize a key transition into the community of the future?
And such makes us touch on the clothing. Elegance, sophistication gripped by sci-fi poignancy were plentiful. Glimmery-vibed detailing decked propositions, featuring futuristic neck-base layering in silver, so chromatically-blatant yet so excellently executed. Imposing a sense of edge and structure were the parade of military-style coats, set against the tubular-structured knits and paired with sumptuous footwear offerings. Back to school (with the blazers) and collegiate jackets were a further go-to, aided by a yet so powerful pulse of fine cuts that adorned the full collection. On the Simons index of wearability (theoretically speaking), every tailored piece was made for a man whose life could tailor on earth. But this showed us something. Almost like an unresolved enigma: the ending felt quite imperceptible, so where do we take-off from here?
