You picked the most "meme" collection of raf. Like literally EVERYONE says 02 was the best. It's no doubt his best collection but cmon man how are you going to start a thread off with that? It's soooo unoriginal

you'll never really find much of an in-depth discussion on here of a designer's body of work that has enough scope and context. the closet you'll get is by doing some reading.

>>9539535
Any suggestions? Books, editorials, or interviews?

I honestly love how visually and sonically evoking his shows are no matter what season

>>9539485
1995-2000 - youth culture, music culture, tribes, angst, earlier focus on uniforms and youth attire, later focus on sharp tailoring and dark silhouettes.
HIGHLIGHTS - How to Talk to Your Teen, Radioactivity, Confusion

2001-2004 - youth protest and rebellion, larger and baggier silhouettes, layering, iconic cultural imagery, sinister edge, subversion
HIGHLIGHTS - Woe Onto Those…, Consumed, Closer

2004-2008 - modern tailoring, futurism, minimalism, heavy exploration of textures and fabrics (neoprene, metallics, perforated, sheer, hessian blends, leathers, etc.)
HIGHLIGHTS - Waves, History of my World, Icarus Surgit, SS08

2009-2011 - absolute trash
HIGHLIGHTS - n/a

2012-present - heavy use of graphics/patterns/motifs, androgyny, pop art, sneakers, slim tailoring, collaborative

>>9539510
you mean s/s 02

>>9539510
It's definitely not my favorite. Only kiddos first getting into Raf from Tumblr and here say ss02 is best because first off that's all they know and second it's nice and edgy.

>>9539485
TLDR;

/fa/ only learns about a handful of designers someone elses (probably) on tumblr told them was cool

just like "old bands"

some 14 year old "hot girl" thinks kurt cobain was hot so ever teen in the country suddenly is super into nirvanna to buying re-issued "vintage tees"

kanye west cashing in on a bunch of fuckwits who never wear real fashion/were never part of the real target market

ie: posers

keep posting on the internet about how you love rick's collection when you've never been to a retailer and purchased the product that was being presented.

like a bunch of fuccbois talking about movie trailers and talking about how much they liked the adverts /memorize every detail of the trailer

but never watching the movie becuase they an't afford the $20 for a ticket

the fact that its the 'gateway' vintage raf doesnt detract from the show itself, its easily one of his best.

Welcome to the new age grandpa

>>9540747
How old are you out of interest? You talk a lot of sense and it's always interesting to see your view, but you seem like you're twice the age of most posters on here.

>>9540816
No clue on your question, but most posts that are worth to read are written by people who seemingly are quite a bit over the average age.

Do you mind if I read your essay? I've been reading a lot of different designer's inspirations, thoughts, etc about their collections and also people's opinions about them

>>9541464
