I have an unhealthy love for Raf Simons. I've been collecting pieces from all of his diffusion collections for several years. It all started with an asymmetrical hoodie that looked like it was woven with a piece of a bronzed chicken coop. I said it was unhealthy. Naturally, with each new Raf Simons collection, I shop the runway for pieces I hope to adopt from the Barney orphanage.
YES
I've blogged before that we have the right to bare arms. Raf was one of the first designers to show the sleeveless blazer. Should we call it a slazer, a sleever? Whatever, I'm in to this Prius hybrid that doesn't require gas. It will be a nice transition piece for fall.
NO
If you don't have arms, this is a no go. Sorry Aphrodite.
MAYBE
You've already taken an old blazer to your tailor and had the sleeves chopped off like a fashion badass.
YES
This is a real slick look. Sure it's something that might get you beaten up in a play yard or any where not NYC, but it's still pretty sick. Silk is the fabric of royalty and the black and blue stripes make you feel nautical without enlisting in the navy. The purple satin backpack is also pretty cool and different. It's Jansport to the extreme.
NO
If you are a vegan because you know, silk is murder. Then again, this shirt could be all nylon. Someone call Raf to confirm.
MAYBE
You already had your mom's silk curtains made into a blousy man shirt. See you on the school yard sissy. I want your backpack.
