MY OWN PRIVATE ANTWERP: Raf Simons’ Spring/Summer 2020 Campaign

For its first campaign of the year, Raf Simons went for a simple and timeless look. Showcasing the Spring/Summer 2020 collection, which debuted last summer in Paris, Willy Vanderperre photographed a group of models against a stark white purgatory-like backdrop that allowed some of the collection’s loud prints and graphics to really pop. One repeated motif that reads MY OWN PRIVATE ANTWERP is a particular highlight that recalls the dreamy grunge style of the 1991 Gus Van Sant film it pulled its inspiration from. Alienation and anti-commercialism remain at the pulse of Simons’ brand since it launched in 1995 and the latest campaign, styled by Olivier Rizzo, evinces these themes for the new decade as the designer embraces his next chapter.

LCM: Coach Men’s Autumn/Winter 2015 Presentation

For American fashion and leather goods house Coach‘s first men’s presentation, Creative Director Stuart Vevers reflected on cult American icons—The Bestie Boys and directors Steve McQueen and Gus Van Sant—for an effortlessly relaxed collection that considers traditional wardrobe pieces through an individualistic and New York perspective. What funnels through are furiously-cool printed and fur-emphasized outerwear paired with crisply tailored trousers and stark white and snakeskin green footwear styles—another recent rollout from the brand—in a noticeably younger-skewing-than-ever-before series of elevated yet ready-to-wear attire. As Vevers said in a statement, “The collection reinforces the story that started with the womens’ collections last Fall; elevating the familiar, exploring the tension between utility and luxury with luxe craftsmanship that’s driven by functionality.”
